46 YA Books Showcasing Diverse Disability Representation

"The world is built for able-bodied and neurotypical brains, with little accommodations for anyone outside of these communities. By gaining awareness and knowledge about the diversity of disabilities faced, it allows us to break down all the ways in which accommodations and changes need to be made without putting that work onto the disabled community themselves. The disability community should be able to see themselves represented within the books they read and for these storylines and characters to be complex and multidimensional.
Within this list, we're highlighting YA books that portrays disability representation with complexity, humor, and honesty"
