It can manifest in a variety of ways, including negative attitudes or stereotypes towards people with disabilities, as well as physical and social barriers that limit their access to opportunities and resources.</p><p>One of the most common forms of ableism is the belief that people with disabilities are somehow less capable or competent than those without disabilities. This can lead to negative stereotypes and assumptions about people with disabilities, as well as limited access to education, employment, and other opportunities. Another form of ableism is the belief that people with disabilities are a burden on society, or that their needs are too costly or inconvenient to accommodate.</p><p>Ableism can also manifest in physical and social barriers that limit access for people with disabilities.

Additionally, ableism can lead to a lack of representation and inclusion in media and popular culture, which can perpetuate negative stereotypes and further marginalize people with disabilities.</p><p>Recognizing and challenging ableism is an important step towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society.

It can also have significant economic and social consequences, such as limited access to education, employment, and healthcare services, as well as lower rates of social participation and inclusion.</p><p>In addition, ableism can impact society as a whole by perpetuating negative stereotypes and limiting diversity and inclusion.
