Parents often struggle with disability acceptance not because of the child in front of them, but because of the future they imagined. Adjustment requires revising expectations, not denying reality.

Hatshepsut (c. 1479 BCE) is perhaps one of the best known female pharaohs of ancient Egypt. She ushered in an age of economic growth, peace, and prosperity for Egypt under her rule after originally ruling as a regent for her stepson Thutmosis III when he was a child, before assuming the full title of pharaoh. She was typically depicted wearing male kingly regalia fitting of her position as pharaoh. She is believed to have had bone cancer, diabetes, and arthritis at the time of her death, based on examinations of remains that Egyptologists think are hers.

Djeho (Djeder) (c. 346 BCE) was a man who lived during ancient Egypt’s Late Period. He was buried in Saqqara in an elaborate granite sarcophagus in his patron Tjaiharpta’s tomb. His presence in the tomb and the quality of the sarcophagus indicates his favored status with his patron. Djeho is depicted on the sarcophagus naked, with the proportions of dwarfism in a profile stance. Inscriptions on the sarcophagus’s lid reveal that he was a dancer who performed in funerary ceremonies of the cults of the Apis and Memphis sacred bulls. Unlike the other people with dwarfism’s biographies here from ancient Egypt, Djeho’s patron was a non-royal elite.

The Cairo Toe (1000 BCE) is one of the oldest functional prosthetics. It was designed for a high status woman and was made of durable materials like wood and leather. There is evidence it was refitted several times and would likely have improved mobility and balance. The toe was amputated while the woman was alive, as it had healed over. While early research had indicated that prosthetics were used to prepare bodies for the afterlife, this was the first one that was functional during the life of the amputee. The Cartonnage Toe (600 BCE) was an aesthetic prosthesis with an inlaid toenail which was unlikely to have been as functionally useful as it was produced from painted linen and paper- mache, and was perhaps made for someone of lower status.

Blindness and visual impairment was common due to warfare, diseases and parasites. The bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis causes blindness and was common at the time. In Egyptian mythology the eye of Horus (Wedjat) was a symbol of protection and healing, and being blind was seen as a war wound from the battle between good and evil. Congenital blindness was seen as part of a divine will, while acquired blindness was not. Imhotep, a priest of Ra in the third dynasty established a healing centre in Memphis for blind and deaf people, which was also near a prestigious music school. Blind harp players and blind singers are often depicted in art and were respected and sought after for royal courts and harems.

Disability acceptance is usually discussed as something the individual must achieve.
But in developmental disability, the first acceptance process happens in the parents.
Until that happens, independence is often blocked before it starts.
