Disability Studies

Introduction

Disability Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the experiences of individuals with disabilities. A broad range of academic disciplines contributes to the knowledge base of disability studies, including sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, political science, law, architecture, and literature. The discipline emphasizes that research in this area should be inclusive of all varieties of physical as well as mental differences. --- from The Praeger Handbook of Special Education
