Förord
Strax före årsskiftet 93-94 fick vi en förfrågan om att göra en uppföljning av erfarenheterna från ett projekt där fyra män med begåvningshandikapp köpt sin egen bostad och där deras stöd förmedlas av personliga assistenter. Bostaden finns på Kaptensgatan på Råå, vilket är anledningen till rapportens underrubrik.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents data about the demographics of disabled seniors in Canada and the range of economic, social, and environmental barriers which they confront. Issues are highlighted connected with the independent living paradigm, marginalization, and the multiple social problems of being elderly, disabled, female, and/or a member of a visible minority. The author then describes the implications for future action research, theory development, policy formulation, and social change.

Introduction by: Karen Stone
This lengthy, albeit important -- and timely because so many of us are facing the beginning of a new school year -- endnote comes from the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle. It is about accessibility in college/university computer labs. Note that I have taken the liberty to embellish some of their statements. Meanwhile, I encourage each and every one of you to make copies of this and distribute it to all concerned individuals. The UW begins by aptly saying:

IL rörelsen: en kort bakgrund
"IL rörelsen fick sin början på sent 60-tal, rörelsen förespråkade en filosofi som byggde på konsumism, oberoende, kamratstöd (peer counseling), medborgarrätt, arbete för sina rättigheter (self-advocacy) och ökad livskvalitet för personer med funktionsnedsättning. IL program utvecklades för att ge tjänster åt personer med omfattande funktionsnedsättning som var missnöjda med den reguljära medicinska rehabiliteringsvården. IL programmens filosofi innehåller bland annat konsumentmakt, kamratstöd, arbete för gruppens rättigheter (advocacy) och eliminering av miljömässiga, fysiska och sociala hinder i samhället."

Consultation and Influence
1. Kampanjens syfte
DAA, Disability Awareness in Action (Kampanjen för medvetenhet om funktionshinder), är en internationell upplysningskampanj riktad mot allmänheten för att främja, stödja och samordna nationella kampanjer för målen i FN:s två program United Nations Decade of Disabled Persons (De funktionshindrades årtionde, 1983-1992) och WPA, World Programme of Action Concerning Disabled Persons (Globala aktionsprogrammet för funktionshindrade).
by Patricia Digh, 1999
Imagine how shocking it would be to pick up a newspaper today and read a front-page story about a "colored" or "Negro" politician or businessman. Yet, the print and broadcast media still describe people with disabilities with equally archaic and demeaning phrases such as "handicapped," "differently abled," "challenged" and "special."
Furthermore, while journalists do not include a person's ethnic or racial minority group status in articles unless it is a crime report or pertinent to the story, a disability inevitably gets mentioned regardless of the story's topic.
Here are some guidelines for writing about people with disabilities.

Dear Colleagues:
Princeton University's Center for Human Values recently employed Dr. Peter Singer as a professor of Bioethics. Dr. Singer states "Killing a disabled infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Very often it is not wrong at all."

Report to the ENIL Board Meeting
8th March 2003 Southampton
by Frances Hasler, 2003-03
The Department of Health has published monitoring figures for direct payments usage, based on information from September 2002. They show an overall growth in numbers since 2001 from 5423 to 7882. The most dramatic increase in take up is among carers (more than four times as many as previously). Some groups – people with learning difficulties, mental health service users and older people – have roughly doubled their numbers. Growth among people with physical impairment has been smaller – just 30%.

In this presentation I have tried to provide a background sample of where I came from and the issues that I think we were trying to deal with at the time. I hope, too, that I can introduce you to some of the outstanding problems we face in our struggle for a social interpretation of disability.
Report to the ENIL Board Meeting, 8th March 2003 Southampton
by John Evans, February 2003
There have been a number of developments in Independent Living and Direct Payments in the UK over the last few years. I shall try and highlight a few of the main issues.
In some respects we now have a Government that is committed to expanding Direct Payments considerably. This is actually to the extent that Direct Payments are now being made available to a number of other user groups. Please see the figures attached to this Report to give you an idea about this.

Disability Discrimination Act Standards Project
On October 12, 2000, the Australian Federal Cabinet approved the Draft DDA Transport Standard. The decision requires all intra-city buses to be of low-floor type using boarding aids for wheelchair users in the form of ramps. This article traces the history of the milestone decision as an example and encouragement for the movement for Buses For All in other countries.

REASONS FOR DECISION
This paper was presented at the Bristol University Centenary Celebration on 9th November 2001, as part of their series of lectures on ‘Valuing Diversity’.
When Bristol University asked me to give a lecture on Diversity and Disability, I immediately thought of Adolf Ratzka, a seasoned disabled activist from Germany. He had the UK’s disability movement splitting our sides with laughter and wonder when he presented his ‘Crip Utopia’ at one of our gatherings two years ago.
Compassion, tolerance, care for vulnerable people. “Why do these "feel good" words, mainstays of the New Tory lexicon, make some of us feel so uneasy?”
Partly it is that their synonyms are not so attractive; to think that someone is pitying you or putting up with you and that they are doing this because they see you as weak, is not a good feeling. But this is not the whole reason. It is also because these words are chosen in favour of other words - rights, equality, and services for those who need them.
