Disability culture is a concept developed in the late 1980s to describe a unique lifestyle shaped or influenced by disability, distinct from pathologizing discourses (i.e., concepts about disability that are derived from eugenics or the medical model). Some disabled people have mobilized this concept in order to reframe disability as an identity or as a cultural minority experience.
