Ableism is a neologism of United States coinage used to describe effective discrimination against people with disabilities in favor of people who are not disabled. An ableist society is said to be one that treats non-disabled individuals as the standard of ‘normal living’, which results in public and private places and services, education, and social work that are built to serve 'standard' people, thereby inherently excluding those with various disabilities. By contrast with the US, United Kingdom usage favours 'Disablism' to describe the same processes. Other English-speaking nations may use either term or both.
