Misrepresentation Of Disability

Misrepresentation of Disability is an academic construct that refers to the distorted, inaccurate, or stereotypical portrayal of disabled individuals in media, research, or cultural narratives, differing from authentic representation by perpetuating harmful biases, oversimplifications, or exclusionary depictions that fail to reflect the lived experiences and diversity within the disability community.
