Using Critical Discourse Analysis in Intellectual Disability Research

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2019
  • -
  • Publisher: Unknown

This dataset illustrates an approach to using Critical Discourse Analysis. The data are provided by Dr. Anne-Marie Callus from the Department of Disability Studies, Faculty for Social Wellbeing, University of Malta. They are taken from interviews conducted between 2009 and 2011 with persons with intellectual disability and non-disabled persons who work with them. The extracts presented focus on what these interviewees said about their understanding of "intellectual disability." The Student Guide provides an example of how to analyse not only what they talked about but how they talked about it, taking into account the words they use, non-verbal aspects of talk, and the sociocultural context they are speaking in. The dataset file is accompanied by a Teaching Guide and a Student Guide.

Becoming Self-Advocates

Becoming Self-Advocates

People with intellectual disability cannot assume that they can speak up for and represent themselves. A host of socially constructed factors act as barriers to their becoming self-advocates. This book analyses the nature of these factors and investigates how the label 'intellectual disability' is understood and interpreted. It also analyses the power imbalance between people with intellectual disability and non-disabled people, an imbalance which leads to the perpetuation of dependence of the former on the latter. The book proposes self-advocacy as a way of providing an environment in which this power imbalance can be redressed, negative perceptions of the label 'intellectual disability' challenged, and independence and autonomy promoted. In this way, contexts can be created in which the voices of people with intellectual disability are heard and valued. Self-advocacy thus enables people with intellectual disability to become more active agents in their own lives with the necessary support.

European Semester 2021-2022 Country Fiche on Disability Equality

  • Publisher: Unknown

A new national Disability Strategy (2021-2030) entitled Freedom to Live was launched on Tuesday, 28 September 2021, which provides important context for reporting and policy development in the Semester period. There was improvement in the employment rates of persons with disabilities in Malta, but the COVID-19 pandemic has affected this negatively. Gender differences in labour market participation remain of concern. Further research is needed to explore retention rates and opportunities for promotion for employees with disabilities. The new Centre for Vocational Education Excellence is expected to improve chances of young people with disabilities for employment, if reasonable accommodation and universal design for learning principles are put in place.

The Disabled Child's Participation Rights

  • Type: Book

  • Published: 2016-03-02

  • Publisher: Routledge

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is the only UN treaty to date in which the people who are its target, that is disabled people, were actively involved in its drafting and the only one which requires the active participation of disabled people in its implementation. This does not, of course, automatically guarantee the direct participation of all disabled people. This is especially so for children with disabilities, whose status as legal minors may inhibit them from participating in decisions affecting their lives. This book focuses on the participation rights of the disabled child with regard to health, education, homelife and relationships, highlighting ways in which these rights are safeguarded and promoted throughout the EU, as well as exploring the factors that put these rights at risk. Finally, this groundbreaking text analyses whether disabled children’s needs for assistance in order to realise their participation rights results in fewer opportunities to participate or in an increase in support in order for them to be able to do so.

Inclusive research is about academic researchers collaborating with people with intellectual disability as co-researchers. The research topics are ones which are important for people with intellectual disability and the methods used take into account their support needs. This case first sets out briefly the principles of emancipatory disability research, linking them to the development of inclusive research with people with intellectual disability. It then presents a case study that shows how both academic researchers and co-researchers with intellectual disability can collaborate meaningfully in research projects. This case study is based on my own experiences, first as a doctoral student a...
