The word chic refers to something fashionable or stylish. Chic varies for individuals and groups and with time and place. Something chic may have desirable or undesirable long-term consequences. Disability and extremism are also changeable concepts, depending on comparison to social norms. People with disabilities should have the option of being chic. However, disability itself should not become chic, nor should ineffective or harmful treatments of disabilities or extreme models of service delivery, even if some consider them chic. Disability chic refers to a form of extremism that includes undesirable, distorted positive perceptions and denial of disability, as well as inappropriate responses to it. People are gifts whether they have disabilities or not, but disabilities are not gifts.
