Abstract:
Disability studies, a field of critical study that emerged from the disability rights movement, challenges the medical domination in the lives of people with disabilities and has the potential to transform rehabilitation practice. Significant practical and attitudinal barriers exist to changing rehabilitation practice. Using a point-counterpoint framework, this article examines some common objections to integrating disability studies perspectives into rehabilitation practice and provides solutions, strategies, and rationales for a disability studies informed practice.
