Introduction

Disabled people are often defined by their disabilities rather than their unique ambitions and identities.

Despite advancements in rights and accessibility, disabled people still suffer from a society that fails to understand them.

We need to take a deeper look at the lives of successful disabled people to understand what society is getting wrong and redefine success altogether.

In her 2005 work Career Success of Disabled High-Flyers, author Sonali Shah uses case studies and deep research to show how personal traits, life events, and ambition shape the achievements of disabled individuals.

In particular, Shah highlights the importance of role models and education in helping disabled people reach their potential.
