Abstract

Helping one another: speculative history of self-help movement, Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 60: 452-456, 1979.

The Natural Sciences (biological/medical sciences) have a huge impact on society and within societies the biggest impacts are felt among disadvantaged/marginalized group. Among these groups we can count women, disabled people, ethnic minorities and indigenous people to name a few. I will look at the characteristic disability for the rest of the report but most of my reasoning and arguments can be extended to every disadvantaged group.

As an American obsessed with avoiding saturated fats, England was a trial. My wife, Lyndi, and I found mayonnaise and butter in abundance at any restaurant or pub. Thankfully, house trade in an English village had a wheelchair accessible kitchen. For the first time in my life I could easily look into the pots while I cooked. The sink also had clearance for my wheelchair. Everything was at my height.

Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania (TOMRIC Agency) - August 21, 2000

Giti Masule says people with disabilities in Tanzania often feel totally excluded from the mainstream. He has recently taken over as the new program manager for Action of Disability and Development (ADD). The Organization is based in the Mwanza Region in northern Tanzania, on the shores of Lake Victoria.

På svenska

People with disabilities are often invisible in movies and television shows, or, if visible, depicted in demeaning and stereotypical ways: as powerless, child-like, isolated victims, as bitter, sometimes psychopathic misfits, or as the "super-crip," who overcomes a disability with some extraordinary ability.

Moreover, storylines featuring people with disabilities inevitably resolve with a "cure" rendering the character "whole."

by Eleanor Smith, Concrete Change

Tremendous improvements in disability access have occurred since I was a child in the 1940s and '50s, using a wheelchair from age three on. Many of these improvements have come to be considered customary building practices, helpful to the general population as well as people with disabilities. In earlier years, disabled people wheeled down the street looking for a driveway to getup on the sidewalk. Now, curb cuts at corners are common. In earlier years, children with disabilities often waited outside while their friends ran up the steps into a store to buy a trinket or treat. Now, new stores offer the freedom to come and go.

In English

Enligt en källa är mäkleri en påhittig avnämarbaserad inriktning för tjänsteförmedling som har sina rötter "i framväxandet av konsumentrörelsen och utvecklingen av konstitutionella rättigheter". Termen användes först på 70-talets senare hälft som benämning på en inriktning som utvecklades av en grupp familjer på Kanadas västkust, "som anser att deras svårt funktionshindrade barn hade rätt att planera sina liv och skulle erbjudas möjlighet och tillräckliga resurser för detta".
