Social workers and generative practices for the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities
Incited by the United Nations adoption and ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, social workers are prompted to increasingly pursue an inclusion-focused approach. Our research was carried out in the Netherlands and sought to identify social work practices conducive to fostering social inclusion, in this case with respect to adults with mild intellectual disabilities. For 21⁄2 years, a responsive methodology…
The Definition Dilemma
To monitor progress in including persons with disabilities, including in interventions which can improve their health and quality of life, it is crucial to collect data on their participation. However, there are many different ways of defining disability and thus categorising individuals as disabled/not disabled, which may impact measures of participation. This study aims to assess the relationship between three different measures of disability a…
Performing Plurality
Social media platforms have provided people with a psychiatric label the opportunity to build communities and share their stories without relying on the mediation of therapists, publishers, or broadcasters. Among them are people who identify not as one whole self, but as a system of plural personalities, often labeled as dissociative identity disorder (DID). People with plural identities started sharing videos on YouTube as a means to convey thei…
Perspectives on the essential skills of healthcare decision making in children and adolescents with intellectual disability
Existing rights frameworks and healthcare standards confirm the importance of providing all people with the opportunities to learn and practise health literacy skills including decision making. There is little literature examining interventions for healthcare decision making for children with intellectual disability. Childhood is a critical time for the development of skills and autonomy. Evidence for how children and adolescents with intellectua…
Understanding Epistemic Justice through Inclusive Research about Intellectual Disability and Sexuality
Formal language: This paper discusses inclusive research and epistemic justice by using an example of a published study the authors conducted on intellectual disability and sexuality in supported living environments. Our study addressed taboos and pushed boundaries in content and methodology through two ways of inclusive research: (1) the second author of this paper who has an intellectual disability was a main researcher in the study; and (2) we…
The Ball of Cooperation Rolls on’
People with disabilities are increasingly actively involved within research projects.

He has worked as a researcher for almost six years. He is involved in various projects, all highly diverse in terms of subject, design, scope and collaboration with fellow researchers. In this pa…

Shifting terminology and confusing representations

Using quantitative and qualitative content analysis, this study examined newspaper articles between 1950 and 2020. The results indicated shifts in intellectual disability terminology in newspapers in the direction of organisations of people with disabilities, scholars’, and t…

Both researchers kept personal diaries about their collaboration process. Inductive themat…
A Closer Look at the Quest for an Inclusive Research Project

There is, for example, increasing recognition of the importance and value of actively involving people with intellectual disabilities in research projects on topics that are relevant to them. In a current doctoral research project, a co-researcher with an intellectual disability was recruited to …

Disability, Access to Food and the UN CRPD
In 2016, the Netherlands ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD), one of the last developed nations to do so. In this article, we explore how equal access to food provides a lens through which barriers to implementing a rights-based approach to disability equality can be examined in countries that are historically resistant to such discourses. Through a literature review, policy research, and interviews wit…

Love and War
Although the conceit of the 'battlefield of love' is not uncommonly encountered in Arabic literature, and although the combination of a number of themes in the same poem is quite standard, the particular manner in which Ibn Khafajah divides his poem 278 (in Ghazl's edition)' into a martial scene and an erotic scene, with apparently only the most tenuous connexion between the two, is most unusual, if not unique. The poem exists, at any rate in its…
