“…The Hidden Curriculum of a Special Education Classroom, and How Students Labeled With Severe Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Resist Imposed Disability Working Draft 3 discursively construct the "abled/disabled" dichotomy (Connor, 2008;Davis, 2013;Sleeter, 2010;Vehmas & Shakespeare, 2014;Shakespeare, 2013). Within this array of critiques of the medical model, the idea of disability is interrogated and examined with attention to the social institutions that both construct and perpetuate it (Lester & O'Reilly, 2016;Mertens & McLaughlin, 2003).…”

“…However, viewing disability as only a social condition does not acknowledge that people may be disabled by social barriers and anatomy (Shakespeare, 1999;Vehmas & Shakespeare, 2014). Appropriate action on disability and impairment prevention should co-exist with actions to remove social barriers and practices (Shakespeare, 2013).…”

INTRODUCTION:This study examined the experiences of adults with disabilities (AWDs) transitioning to community based residential settings. This field of study has not been sufficiently researched despite being a key aspect of adulthood. METHOD:A literature review of articles relating to residential transitions for AWDs was undertaken. FINDINGS:The literature review findings could be grouped around three main categories: AWDs' perception and self-determination, caregivers' perceptions of the process and, lastly, the insights from service providers and social policies. The review and feedback identified issues experienced during the residential transition, such as feelings of readiness to transit which relate closely to the person's self-determination. As the study delved deeper into the residential transition process in Aotearoa New Zealand, AWDs are noted to be vulnerable persons always requiring support in order to develop and maintain their independence. IMPLICATIONS:Substantive state recognition, such as a social compact, is the key groundwork for this marginalised group to develop self-efficacy, have successful transition experiences and sustain good lives. Eventually, this must be in the form of Crown-binding legislation, where vulnerable adults are served through restorative and protective policies. KEYWORDS: disability, adult disability, independent living

“…It is thus surprising how carelessly he relies on one-sided assumptions about disability primarily as individual characteristic and as a personal tragedy (cf. Vehmas & Shakespeare, 2014).…”

ABSTRACTThis chapter offers a critical evaluation of the disability scholarship of Michael Oliver, a leading developer of the British social model of disability, and Peter Singer, a philosopher whose utilitarian ethics excludes some persons with intellectual disabilities from full moral status. Through a critique of the simplified accounts of disability employed by these two very different scholars, this chapter explores the ontology and the moral significance of disability. The importance of the ontology of disability in relation to inclusion is also discussed.
