It is particularly about mockery. On this subject, the young Maud Pruvost indicates: “Sometimes, there were parents who hid the children’s eyes when I passed by. Obviously, we have all experienced mockery.”

“Disability is not an incapacity”

“I want to change the way we look at disability. The mockery is because people have never seen it. If we talked more often and if it was more edited, maybe people would react differently.” assures the young girl who grew up in a close-knit family and in “normal schools. For her, “it’s easier for able-bodied people to come” towards people with disabilities, because this “can reassure them” fear of rejection. “Disability is not an incapacity”concludes Maud Pruvost.
