What is fair treatment?

Fair treatment is when care and opportunity for those with disability is as accessible as would be for anyone who is completely able bodied and neurotypical. "Fully integrated" means that with in all walks of society, those with disability would have an equal playing field. For this to be a reality, accommodations should offered and considered with priority and designed by those/with the help of those who have experience with disability and can fully understand and address access issues from a first person perspective.

How does the way that social contract theorists think about citizens exclude people with disabilities?

It seems contradictory to me that Rawls presents a "Veil of Ignorance" which is intended to promote equality and eliminate bias but he also fails to account for systemic barriers to those who are disabled and also makes assumptions about rationality and how that defines individuals.

Note to self: This strikes a chord with me because I watch my own grandparent's age and watch my parents care for them. My grandmother is in denial of her condition and clings to the idea of independence and her pride. I know my parents really struggle to watch their parents age and their health and cognition decline.

Note to text: I think the fact that the author mentions the way Arthur would've been treated and diagnosed in the past and also how his parents would have been blamed for his condition. It reminds me of developmental psychology classes that I've taken and Freudian ideas. In a lot of cases (both past and present day) the family (and more specifically the mother) of the disabled individual would be blamed for the way they were.
