Disability & Diversity

Should disability be part of the conversation of diversity? Well, for most this would seem like a slam dunk answer, however, lets look at it from a different perspective. Shouldn't disability seen through a much larger lens than just diversity. The fact is there is an old saying with in the disability community - TAB's or temporarily able bodied. Using this premise the idea is that infact disability is much broader & can be seen as a human issue NOT a diversity issue. That infact we should be talking about it interms of inclusion in every aspect of our society. Disability as a social and cultural construct goes beyond the physical, psychological or mental limitation but prevades every facet of our society...so, any thoughts?
