Fitting comfortably together
This article reports a UK study in which 12 young disabled adults took part in in-depth qualitative interviews that explored how gender and sexuality mattered for their personal assistance. We draw on queer, trans, and disabled feminist research and theory to discuss the ways that genders and sexualities are part of the decisions that young disabled adults make when arranging and managing their personal support, from drafting support plans and re…
Disabled people negotiate gender, sexual identity and self-directed social care support in England
Putting disabled people in charge of their own support was a central component of the UK personalisation agenda. Austerity, staff recruitment difficulties and local authority retrenchment have meant that the experience for disabled people has not always lived up to the rhetorical promise. In this context, disabled people with marginalised sexual and/or gender identities face difficult choices in everyday interactions of support that trouble the i…
Online social connections and Internet use among people with intellectual disabilities in the United Kingdom during the Covid-19 pandemic
Having a disability, in particular, an intellectual disability, is associated with Internet non-use. This article explores how people with intellectual disabilities used the Internet across the United Kingdom during the COVID-19 pandemic. In April to May 2021, 571 adults with intellectual disabilities were interviewed. Participants most commonly used the Internet for being with family and friends, social media or doing online activities with othe…
Disabled men with muscular dystrophy negotiate gender
Disability is often portrayed as a one-dimensional category devoid of further intersections. Work which has addressed the intersection of disability and male gender has rarely considered different types of disability or impairment, or foregrounded the experiences of disabled men themselves. This article is based on empirical work carried out in England with men who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We explored with participants their sense …
Classic Period Hohokam
This chapter discusses the Hohokam Classic Period (ca. 1200–1450 ce) in southern Arizona. Two perspectives are presented for observed archaeological patterns. One perspective is from the Phoenix Basin center, a densely populated region on a trajectory of overexploitation and decline throughout much of the interval, despite the construction of massive irrigation works and architectural buildings that left impressive ruins. The other perspective is…

Men living with long-term conditions
Disabled men have traditionally been seen as incomplete men or as entirely gender-less. Research which has looked at the intersection of disability and male gender has largely treated disabled men as a homogeneous group with little reference to, for example, impairment-related differences. The ongoing move towards self-directed, personalised social care in England suggests that support needs relating to gender may be taken more seriously. A quali…
Enhancing cognitive and social–emotional development through a simple-to-administer mindfulness-based school program for elementary school children
The authors hypothesized that a social and emotional learning (SEL) program involving mindfulness and caring for others, designed for elementary school students, would enhance cognitive control, reduce stress, promote well-being and prosociality, and produce positive school outcomes. To test this hypothesis, 4 classes of combined 4th and 5th graders (N = 99) were randomly assigned to receive the SEL with mindfulness program versus a regular socia…
It's afforded us a huge flexibility’
For many parents of disabled children, finding affordable and suitable childcare that meets their needs is very challenging. Research in the UK has shown that parents with disabled children experience barriers not just with cost, but also accessibility, the attitudes of childcare providers and in getting good information about sources of childcare. The Disabled Children's Access to Childcare (DCATCH) pilots was an initiative designed to improve a…
Wasting precious time’
Supporting young disabled people at the transition to adulthood has long proved to be a challenging task. Young men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have until recently died before they reached adulthood. Now they are living longer but with a corresponding lack of forethought about how they should be supported in adulthood. This study investigated in three regions of England what was happening for young men with DMD and how they were being …
Becoming men
Children and youth with progressive conditions are living longer, and there is increased interest in designing programs that will assist them with "transitioning" to adulthood. Almost none of the transitions research to date, however, has attended to the experiences of disabled boys in "becoming men," nor has there been critical conceptual work problematizing notions of "normal" adulthood or theorizing the complex, diverse, and gendered experienc…
Environmental hazard and disabled people
Why are disabled people disproportionately affected by the impacts of environmental hazard, and is it really only their relative poverty that makes them so vulnerable? What might disabled people contribute from their experience of negotiating barriers to designing responses to the challenges of environmental hazard? Can the lived experience of inter-dependency, as opposed to individual independence, contribute to the radical rethinking of our rel…
The Integrated Use of Audio Diaries, Photography, and Interviews in Research with Disabled Young Men
In this article we provide a critical reflection on the integrated use of solicited audio diaries, photography, and interviews in a study with disabled young men transitioning to adulthood. In the study, we developed a methodological approach for illuminating the intersectionality of gender, disability, and generation (life stage) identities. Drawing from a critical Bourdieusian perspective, we suggest that rather than producing single or 'true' …

Other Voices, Other Rooms
Research which involves disabled children and young people now constitutes a fairly well‐established body of work in the social sciences. However, discussion on the role of the (normally adult) researcher has arguably been marginalised in the much‐needed exploration of disabled children's ‘voices’. Drawing on a qualitative study of the transition to adulthood for young men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, this paper reflects on the interview ‘en…
Transition to adulthood for young men with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Introduction: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder which affects boys. Until recently the mean age of death was around 19 but there have been significant improvements in clinical management and they can now expect to live to around 25 years
Does Difference Make a Difference in Financial Planning for Risk
Current policy‐making assumes people perceive and respond to financial risk in a uniform and rational way. This research sought to investigate whether social and cultural differences along the dimensions of disability, sexuality, faith and ethnicity influence attitudes to money and approaches to planning for possible financial risk eventualities. Eighty in‐depth interviews with individuals committed to different faiths (Muslim and Christian), dis…

Heterosexism in Health and Social Care By Julie Fish
The proof of the pudding
More than 20 years of research with disabled children, young people and their families has highlighted the need for the different professionals and services that support them to work more closely together. The British policy and legal framework for ‘joined up working’ has never been stronger. However, there has been an assumption that multi‐ or inter‐agency working will inevitably be a ‘good thing’ for families. This paper discusses findings from…
Multi-agency working in services for disabled children
Whilst agencies in many sectors have been encouraged to work together to better meet the needs of service users, multi-agency working is now a central feature of government policy. In relation to children's services, the National Service Framework, the English green paper, 'Every Child Matters' (DfES, 2003) and the Children Bill (DfES 2004) give a high priority to an integrated approach to service provision. This paper focuses on multi-agency wor…
At home or away? An exploration of policy and practice in the placement of disabled children at residential schools
Despite increasing policy commitment by government to the inclusion of children with special educational needs in mainstream services, significant numbers of disabled children continue to be placed away from their family home and community in residential schools. Reliable statistical information on them is elusive and there has been a dearth of research on how placement decisions are made and what the experience of such placements for disabled ch…
The decision to go
Sending a disabled child to a specialist residential school may mean that they live for much of the year at a school a long way from home. New research examines the role of social services departments in helping families think about this important decision. This article explores the views of social services staff on residential schools and the issues they face around how best to work with families who are thinking about a residential school for t…
Working in the risk society
It is now widely accepted that the risk of unemployment has increased with the growth of flexible working practices in the UK and other European countries. Important questions, however, are raised about the extent to which these risks are understood by individuals and families in what has been termed the 'risk society' and, if perceived, how risks are managed both in terms of responses within the workplace and the family. These questions are cent…

The Child Support Act 1991
The government hopes that the Child Support Act will be instrumental in helping parents back to work, in making dependence on income support less attractive, and in supporting children financially. The Act has been deeply contentious and not least because it is far from clear that the Act does anything to support children whose parents are on the lowest incomes and/or receiving state benefits A study of parents with the care of children in Liverp…
Effects of Stimulus Change and Drive Level on Extinction of the Conditioned Eyelid Response
Rate of extinction of the conditioned eye blink was investigated as a function of maintained drive level in extinction and amount of stimulus change from conditions of acquisition to those of extinction. 50 Ss were given 90 acquisition trials under a partial reinforcement schedule in which the UCS was either delayed or omitted on half the trials. Half of the Ss conditioned under each procedure were given 20 extinction trials with the UCS delayed …
Dissociation of Learning and Meprobamate
The study was designed to determine whether rats trained in an avoidance conditioning situation while drugged (meprobamate) would demonstrate a decrement in performance when tested without the drug. Also, would Ss trained without the drug exhibit a decrement when tested on the drug. The results indicated a decrement in latency and frequency of avoidance response only for Ss trained on the drug and tested without it
Attitudes toward Sunday and Their Relation to Depression
An attitude scale toward Sunday containing behavioral preferences with the dimensionality exciting-boring was constructed, based on the performance of 76 alcoholic patients, to investigate the effect weekends might have on patients. Positive or elated patient attitudes reflecting the psychological status of activation correlate negatively with measurements of depression, and positively with judgments of social desirability
Emotional Self-Description of Alcoholic Patients after Treatment
The present study investigated the effect of hospital treatment on self-described moods of alcoholics. A set of 52 mood items, each a five-step scale, were administered to w o groups of inpatient alcoholics. In addition, the Edwards Social Desirability (SD) scale and the Marlowe Crowne Social Desirability (MC-SD) scale were given. Ss were randomly assigned to either Group I or I1 from consecutive admissions. Group I (N = 61) was tested on the fir…
