Disability-inclusive iterative workshops as a co-design method
People with cognitive disability are subject to harm in their daily interactions, such as being ignored, humiliated and disrespected. Our study sought to explore this ‘everyday harm’ empirically. This article presents a case study of the use of disability-inclusive iterative workshops as a co-design method. The workshop method had two key outcomes. First, it confirmed that participants were very familiar with the concept (everyday harm) that the …
Has Inequity Faced by Young Australians With Disability Changed Since the Turn of the Century
Despite the introduction of various policies aimed at promoting equality for people with disability since Australia ratified the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2008, there has been little evaluation regarding the extent of change in inequity since then. In particular, the outcomes for young people (15–29) with disability are consistently overlooked in policy evaluation, with current progress measures criticised as …
Everyday Harm Experienced by People With Disability From Culturally Diverse Backgrounds Using Community Services in High‐Income Countries
People with disability from culturally diverse backgrounds face challenges accessing community services. These negative experiences contribute to everyday harm, a common but less noticeable form of harm that negatively impacts a person's wellbeing and social connections. Despite its impact, the concept of everyday harm is underexplored for this community in service settings. A scoping review was conducted through a systematic search across four d…
Understanding everyday harm between young people with cognitive disability and support workers
This article develops a typology of everyday harm from empirical data to understand the many, often subtle, ways that people with cognitive disability experience harm in their relationships with paid support workers. The analysis draws on the concepts of recognition and misrecognition to highlight how interpersonal relationships and organisational environments (policies and culture) interrelate and influence harm occurring in everyday interaction…
Rethinking how people with cognitive disability complain
Supported Decision‐Making Rights in Behaviour Support Policies
Disability policy emphasises that people with disability have the right to exercise their will and preferences in their lives, and decision‐making support must be provided to realise this right if they request. One context in which people's will and preferences are often restricted is behaviour support. This article examines whether human rights, including rights to supported decision‐making, are reflected in current behaviour support policies—an…
People With Disability Influencing Sustained Improvements to Employment
This article considers the influence of people with cognitive disabilities on the sustainability of inclusive employment and the culture of workplaces and industry. We applied Gould et al. (2022) analytical framework about building and growing disability inclusion in business to research data collected about creating employment opportunities in aged care. The research found that people with cognitive disabilities in the workplaces and the guiding…
Five Factors for Effective Policy to Improve Attitudes towards People with Disability
Improving community attitudes and behaviours is core to improving inclusion for people with disability. To identify ways to achieve such change, we analysed data from qualitative interviews with sixty-one expert stakeholders in Australia, informed by our preceding literature review on effective interventions. We identified five themes describing factors with the potential to change attitudes and behaviours to improve inclusion and reduce discrimi…
Regulating vulnerability
This article analyses policy frameworks designed to protect people with disability from harm in service provision settings and respond to their experiences of violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation, with a focus on the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).The creation of a new disability services market has facilitated greater choice and empowerment for NDIS participants, but has also exposed them to new risks and vulnerabil…
Policy representation of everyday harm experienced by people with disability
People with disability are at heightened risk of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation (VANE) with policy geared towards responding to and eliminating VANE harm. Yet not all harm experienced by people with disability is captured within the VANE harm. Many people also experience harm in everyday interactions that leave them feeling uncomfortable, devalued, disrespected, threatened or silenced. Our multi‐method study begins with the term ‘every…
Research Handbook on Disability Policy
Examining how policy affects the human rights of people with disabilities, this topical Handbook presents diverse empirical experiences of disability policy and identifies the changes that are necessary to achieve social justice.
Promoting students’ safety and wellbeing
Although ‘child safety’ is now a national policy priority in Australia, there is little research exploring the practices in schools that contribute to children and young people’s felt sense of safety and wellbeing. Drawing on a mixed-method Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery project, this article presents findings from interviews with school staff ( N = 10), leaders ( N = 5) and nine focus groups with students ( N = 58), in primary and s…
Shifting power to people with disability in co-designed research
This paper explores tensions navigated by researchers and project leaders when involving people with disability as experts in co-design and in the core team. Part of an evaluation aiming to improve paid employment of people with intellectual disability is used to consider this work. Assemblage analysis of the data assisted in identifying a range of material and social conditions, flows, and factors that de-and re-territorialise power in the co-de…
Factors that help people with disability to self-manage their support
Disability policy in many countries encourages people to self-manage their disability support funds, yet few people do. This is also the case with Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Little is known about who chooses self-management and how they sustain it. This project explored the conditions and resources conducive to self-management in the interests of the person with disability. It used Katzman and Kinsella’s typology of …
Prioritising Children and Young People with Disability in Research About Domestic and Family Violence
Children and young people with disability experiencing domestic and family violence hold an expert and unique vantage point on what happens to them. Amplifying their priorities for directing policy and organisational change requires more of researchers in terms of methods, but also more flexibility in how projects are funded to enable creativity and innovation. We call for collective attention to frameworks for supported decision-making and child…
Using the 'in-between' to build quality in support relationships with people with cognitive disability
In a policy context of personalisation, disability support organisations recognise the increasingly contentious nature of clustering people according to disability. Instead, they are placing more emphasis on activities that promote community inclusion. Accordingly, the work between people with cognitive disability and their support workers is increasingly mobile. In this context, drawing on research using a conceptual framework based in recogniti…
Case report
There has been an increase in the occurrence of sudden onset functional tic-like behaviours in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a significant impact on the affected individual's ability to engage with education. The aim of this article is to generate discussion and inform practice within schools with regard to the management of functional tic-like behaviours. An advice sheet for schools has been produced based on clinical e…
Ethical Practice in Disability Services
In recent years there has been increased focus on supporting the safety and wellbeing of children and young people with disability. This paper reports on a study that asked children and young people with disability and adults who work with them about practices that support their wellbeing and safety, including barriers and enablers to ethical practice. We used the theory of practice architectures to unpack the practices. Findings point to a range…
Recasting ‘harm’ in support
Policy efforts addressing abuse of people with disability tend to focus on more extreme forms of violence, sometimes at the expense of attending to everyday indignities and insults experienced when receiving support. Recognition theory provides a lens for identifying actions and attitudes of misrecognition that can cause hurt, humiliation or degradation, and have a negative effect on identity formation. Honneth’s concept of misrecognition is used…

Impact of organisational practices on the relationships between young people with disabilities and paid social support workers
This article uses Ikäheimo’s concept of institutionally mediated recognition to explore how organisational norms and rules facilitate and constrain interpersonal recognition between a young person with disabilities and their paid support worker. The experience of recognition is important because it reflects the quality of this relationship and shapes the identity of both people in the paid support relationship. To understand the relationships bet…
Disability and family violence prevention
Background: The paper draws on empirical evidence from a project investigating service responses to disabled women and children experiencing domestic and family violence (DFV). Service provision in these sectors is often rationed due to resource constraints, and increasingly marketised, and disabled people often do not have their needs met. Their opportunities for participation in policy and practice are also constrained. Aims and objectives: Our…
Children and safety in Australian policy
Child safety is now a national policy priority in Australia. Extensive enquiries and reviews have escalated legislative and policy responses focused on developing, maintaining and monitoring “child safe” organisations. The recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse point to the importance of cultural conditions within organisations in supporting child safety and the need for responsive change in som…
Graduating University as a Woman with Down Syndrome
This paper reflects on the experience of being a woman with Down Syndrome who completed an undergraduate degree at an Australian university. This autoethnography is based on a year-long research project completed as part of my studies. I did a literature review about the experiences of other students with an intellectual disability at university. Then, I wrote about my own university experience. I found that the parts of my own educational journe…
Access and Accessibility in Domestic and Family Violence Services for Women With Disabilities
Women with disabilities experiencing violence can face challenges accessing domestic and family violence (DFV) services. Our research explored how these services understood and operationalized access for women with disabilities. In this article, we use Levesque, Harris, and Russell's access framework to show how to be accessible to women with disabilities, and DFV services can widen the lens of access and accessibility to respond to women's own p…
Disability and support relationships
Very little is known about how relationships between people with disabilities and their paid support workers are positioned in policy. With the policy shift toward choice of provider, individualised approaches, person centredness and self‐directed funding, the nature of their relationship assumes a more prominent role in the quality of support practice. The policy analysis in this article explores the extent to which current disability policy ack…
Preventing Abuse of Children and Young People with Disability under the National Disability Insurance Scheme
Evidence shows that children and young people with disability experience violence, abuse, and neglect at rates considerably higher than their peers. Despite persistent efforts to address it, these rates do not appear to be declining over time. As Australia moves towards implementing a national policy of personalised disability support, new opportunities and risks arise concerning personal safety in young people's lives. This paper reviews the exi…
Understanding paid support relationships
The quality of paid relationships is key for effective support, yet little is known about how people receiving and providing support understand and experience the relationship. This paper reports on recent research that explored the role of relationships with paid support workers in strengthening the rights and wellbeing of young people with cognitive disability in Australia. The research used photo-rich participatory methods with 42 pairs of you…

Child safety in policy
Keeping children safe from harm is a national policy priority in Australia. Extensive inquiries and reviews have highlighted institutions' persistent failures to respond ethically and appropriately to child abuse and its life‐long impacts on survivors. Policy efforts now reflect considerable emphasis on safeguarding children, including through the development of ‘child safe’ organisations. The realisation of these policy aspirations requires clos…
Participatory and Inclusive Approaches to Disability Program Evaluation
Some evaluations of disability programs now apply participatory methods to include people with cognitive disability in the collection of data. However, more inclusive approaches that engage people with cognitive disability more fully in the decisions about the evaluation remain rare. We examined why this may be the case, using Weaver and Cousin's criteria for inclusive evaluation to measure the depth of inclusion of our methods in an evaluation t…
Barriers to finding and maintaining open employment for people with intellectual disability in Australia
Everyone has the right to employment. Work is important for health, well‐being, and social, economic, and financial inclusion. However, it is often difficult for people with intellectual disability to find and maintain work, especially in the open labour market. Policy challenges remain about who can access open employment (also sometimes called competitive or supported employment) and how often people with intellectual disability do so. Greater …

Co‐production in peer support group research with disabled people
Peer support action research is a co‐production method used by groups of people with a shared experience, in order to generate knowledge and mutual assistance. This paper analyses co‐production experiences from a recent Australian research project, which formed peer support groups to explore how disabled people were managing their transition to self‐directed support. Using the project as a case study and applying a community participation framewo…
Will Policy Makers Hear My Disability Experience? How Participatory Research Contributes to Managing Interest Conflict in Policy Implementation
Participatory evaluation gives primacy to the experience of people affected by the policy. How realistic is it for researchers to persuade government of its benefits, given the gap between participatory policy theory and government evaluation practice? We apply this question to the Resident Support Program evaluation. The program coordinates support for people living in boarding houses and hostels in Queensland, Australia. We found that a partici…

Deconstructive Discourse and Sexual Politics
Ever since Nietzsche, passing through every major European philosopher, the question of woman has accompanied the decline of the classical view of human subjectivity. The problematic of the feminine thus outlined is nothing more than a very elaborate metaphor, a symptom of the profound illness of Western culture and of its phallogocentric logic. It is a male disease, expressing the critical state of the post-modern condition.2
"Misappropriations of the "Feminine
ALICE JARDINE'S 1985 study Gynesis traces the explosive putting-intodiscourse of woman and her textual effects recent theoretical discourse, particularly the work of Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, and Gilles Deleuze. Jardine names this process and suggests that the privileging of Woman these exemplary texts of modernity represents a logical reaction to the deconstruction of phallic authority and privilege. Man, once at the center of all systems …

Marked Men
White men still hold most of the political and economic cards in the United States; yet stories about wounded and traumatized men dominate popular culture. Why are white men jumping on the victim bandwagon? Examining novels by Philip Roth, John Updike, James Dickey, John Irving, and Pat Conroy and such films as Deliverance, Misery, and Dead Poets Society —as well as other writings, including The Closing of the American Mind —Sally Robinson argues…

Safe at home? Factors influencing the safety strategies used by people with intellectual disability
Little is known about how people with intellectual disability understand personal safety, or what strategies they call upon when they do not feel safe in their homes. In this participatory research, 20 people with intellectual disability talked about the ways they keep themselves safe in the places where they live, and what helps them or makes it hard for them to stay safe. Interviews with nine disability policy-makers were also conducted to incl…
Shopping for the Real
This article connects the critical reception of White Noise to a history of anti-consumerist critique that relies on and promotes an understanding of consumer culture as destroying authenticity and individual autonomy through its "feminizing" effects. Arguing that critics of DeLillo's novel imagine the crisis of postmodern culture as a crisis of masculinity, the article focuses on these critics' hostility toward the novel's representation of shop…

Can Case Management Contribute to Effective Use of Small Self‐Directed Support Packages for People with Disabilities
While self‐directed support for people with disabilities and their families represents a welcome shift toward self‐determination and increasing control, the risk of managing with insufficient funds remains. This article examines whether different types of case management can mitigate that risk by providing support when people have only a small direct funding package. It applies the question to an evaluated program of self‐directed support in Quee…
