Cultural Aspects of Disability

University of California

Judith G. Rogers, BA, BS, OTR

Through the Looking Glass

This article describes cultural and social issues related to disability based on the authors’ experiences as researchers, clinicians, activists, and personal experience. They address the complexity of the topic of disability subculture by arguing that there is not one disability subculture and then describe common themes that characterize the social context of people with disabilities and one highly visible disability subculture. Clinical and research implications are mentioned. The definition of culturally competent care should be broadened to include disability.
