Discussing Disability--An Investigation into Theories of Disability.
Reindal, Solveig Magnus
European Journal of Special Needs Education, v10 n1 p58-69 Mar 1995
This paper questions the claim that able-bodied individuals cannot understand the experience of disability and that disablism is a socially created form of oppression. It examines social constructivist and social creativist views of disability and argues against the social creativist view as the only fruitful perspective concerning disability. (MDM)
