With "What do you need?" Laia Birchler aims to contribute to a better understanding. The ignorance surrounding interactions with people with disabilities has always weighed heavily on her. This book is her response to the uncertainty that still lingers, even though we live in a time where tolerance and diversity are widely proclaimed. The author envisions a society full of acceptance. This book advocates for a society that does not exclude individuals based on their impairments. She wants to draw attention to this important taboo topic so that people with disabilities become an integral part of society. As part of her graduation project, Laia Birchler conducted numerous conversations with affected individuals, family members, and professionals, asking them to share their observations and concerns. She gathered a variety of perspectives and then visualized them with illustrations and quotes. By presenting existing prejudices, worries, and wishes, the author enables readers—or even just observers—to gain a deep understanding of a different perception.
