Disabled people were historically mistreated and hidden away from society. Discrimination against disabled people refers to treating them worse than others due to physical, sensory, cognitive, or intellectual impairments. Laws and organizations now work to promote disabled peoples' rights, independence, and inclusion. Examples are given of people who have overcome disabilities through achievements like swimming or surfing. Education options for disabled children include special schools focused on their needs, state schools that integrate them, or inclusive classrooms with supports. Questions are raised about the best school environment and societal acceptance of disabled people.
