What is the direct impact that disability studies has on the lives of disabled people today?

The editors frame the volume by introducing foundational themes of disability studies. They provide a context of how institutionsincluding the family, schools, government, and disability peer organizationsshape and transform ideas about disability. They explore how disability informs personal identity, interpersonal and community relationships, and political commitments.
