Question 3:
What can a person who has a disability be able to teach a person who does not?
@happydandan As much as a person without disability.
But I teach them you don't need physical power to achieve things. I teach them you can overcome barriers. I teach them there is nothing wrong with asking for help. I teach them life is worth living. I teach them in some situations they are more disabled than I am. And I choose not to put dis in my ability.
Question 4:

@happydandan the end of discrimination!

Disability discrimination means that you are treated less well or put at a disadvantage for a reason that relates to your disability. The treatment could be a one-off action, the application of a rule or policy or the existence of physical or communication barriers which make access difficult or impossible. Discrimination doesn't need to happen consciously.
Examples for discrimination: having not the chance to go to the same school as non-disabled students.
Not being adressed while talking to others. Instead often people talk to the care-person or a perceivably non-disabled follow.
Supporting only auditory communication discriminating people with hearing impairments.
Supporting only visual communication discriminating people with visual impairments.
Discrimination of people with learning disabilities. (using complicated sentences and vocabulary)
