When we came back the ball was just not rolling
While the COVID‐19 pandemic disrupted education across the globe, special needs schools in middle‐ and low‐income countries were particularly affected. Learners in these contexts often did not have access to assistive technologies and individualised adaptations of materials in their home environment. This study aimed to explore the experiences of special needs educators regarding how lockdown restrictions had impacted their educational practices.…
Negative social interactions and the persistence of depression
We explored women’s experiences of depression from the perspective of negative social interactions at the personal, family, and community levels. Informants were seven coloured women from Westbury, Johannesburg, South Africa (aged 28 – 56 years old). The participants answered open-ended questions on their experiences of depression at different levels within their setting. Thematic analysis of the data yielded six main categories of influence on w…
Parental Disability and Children's Educational Outcomes
This paper examines the relationship between parental disability and children's educational outcomes in Tanzania. This paper uses data from the 2010–2011 and 2014–2015 waves of the Tanzania National Panel Survey (TNPS) and a fixed effects estimation approach. The findings of this paper show that parental disability is associated with children being less likely to enrol in school and pass examinations. Also, we find a negative association between …
Heterogeneity in Disability and the Quality of Life of South African Children
Stigma of persons with disabilities in South Africa
Secondary Traumatic Stress
South Africa is a particularly violent and traumatised society. Occupational and forensic social workers employed by the South African Police Service (SAPS) are confronted with many occupational stressors, including secondary traumatic stress (STS). STS can result in reduced functioning and/or performance in a social worker's professional and/or personal life. A mixed methods approach was adopted to explore the phenomenon of STS in the social wor…

The importance of intersectionality in disability and gender studies
Investigations into the relationship between poverty and disability are limited, particularly from a South African perspective. In addition, when this relationship is addressed it is usually in isolation of other social characteristics, such as gender. As such the intersections between disability, gender, race and poverty are often overlooked – yet internationally research points to gender gaps in outcomes for people with disabilities. This brief…
Inequities in health outcomes and access to health care in South Africa
Health is a fundamental human right and if health care is to be universal and equitable it should not be less accessible to some sectors of society than to others. The objective of this study was to compare health outcomes and access to health care between persons living with disabilities and their non-disabled counterparts. The research was based on secondary data analysis of wave 1 of the National Income Dynamic Survey. Results from the study i…
Women's mental health
This study explored the coping mechanisms of women from an economically disadvantaged community in a South African setting. Data on symptoms of depression, prevalence of ego-resilience and demographics were collected from 60 women (African women aged 20–78 years) using a survey and individual interviews. The quantitative data were analysed using the Spearman's correlation coefficient and Mann–Whitney-U tests, while thematic analysis was used for …
The disability–poverty nexus and the case for a capabilities approach
Debates about the relationship between poverty and disability continue and are important in that they contribute to policies regarding how best to address the needs of disabled people living in conditions of poverty. Increasingly, researchers have begun to use Sen's capabilities approach in understanding disability. However, the approach has not been adequately applied to understand the nature of the poverty and disability nexus, particularly in …
