Exploring How Christians and Atheists Deal with Issues Related to Their Disability
Spirituality is an understudied topic among people with disabilities, particularly among atheists with disabilities. The current paper explores the research question: how do the spiritual beliefs of people with disabilities affect how they deal with issues related to their disability? Data for this study were gathered from interviews of individuals with disabilities who identified as either Christian or as atheist/agnostic. Atheists reported usin…
Facebook Use by Persons with Disabilities
Social network sites have a potential to empower persons with disabilities. However, this issue has received little attention in research. As a step toward addressing this need, we conducted an online survey about how persons with disabilities use Facebook. We used primarily descriptive statistics and also compared activities relating to nondisabled and disabled friends and groups. The findings indicated that the 172 persons with disabilities who…
How do adults with intellectual disabilities use Facebook
Social networking sites have potential to support social relationships and self-determination of people with intellectual disabilities. However, to date, this issue has received little research attention. To help address this need, we conducted an online research survey to reach adults with intellectual disabilities who use Facebook and to include their voices about their online experiences, challenges, and preferences. We used mixed methods for …
The Characteristics of Unsuccessful E-Mentoring Relationships for Youth With Disabilities
Recently, researchers have focused on the benefits of e-mentoring for young people with disabilities, such as greater access to sources of information and support. Relatively few researchers have explored the problem of unsuccessful e-mentoring relationships, i.e., mentors and mentored individuals who withdraw from an e-mentoring program before completion. Our findings promote understanding of the dynamics of unsuccessful vs. successful e-mentori…
Community-Based Participatory Research in Disability and Long-Term Care Policy
From 1997 to 2003, Illinois was spending approximately 80% of its long-term care budget on nursing homes and institutional care and was facing significant challenges to its long-term care delivery and the need to rebalance toward community-based supports for people with disabilities. A case-based program evaluation was done to analyze Moving Out of the Nursing Home to the Community, a community-based participatory research (CBPR) project. The Chi…

Views of Disabled People Regarding Legalized Assisted Suicide Before and After a Balanced Informational Presentation
A questionnaire on views regarding legalized assisted suicide was administered to 29 individuals with disabilities (12 participants with various disabilities; 17 participants with multiple sclerosis) before and after their exposure to a “pro” versus “con” informational presentation focusing on disability and assisted suicide. Results indicated that participants who expressed neutrality before the presentation were more likely than participants wh…
Transforming psychological practice and society
As people with disabilities challenge psychology to acknowledge the sociopolitical foundations of their marginalization, they urge psychologists to help improve disability policy within and beyond the borders of the discipline. Understanding disability through a social paradigm offers opportunities to reframe the way psychologists define problems related to disability, to develop more collaborative relationships between psychologists and people w…

Health professionals, disability, and assisted suicide
Prominent disability rights groups have adopted positions opposing the legalization of assisted suicide. That physicians and other health professionals would assist in suicides of persons with incurable conditions while offering suicide prevention to "healthy" individuals is, they maintain, evidence of social discrimination and an unwarranted devaluation of the quality of life of people with disabilities. This article examines empirical literatur…
