“…Historically, society has understood individuals with disabilities from a medical or deficit model, which labels individuals as dysfunctional and in desperate need of treatment (Peña, Stapleton, & Schaffer, 2016). According to Reddy (2011) disability was defined as a disadvantage or deficiency that limits normal achievements with predominant physical or psychological medical significance. The 'medicalization' of disability made human variation an abnormality from the norm, as a deficit, a pathological condition, and most considerably, as a personal tragedy and individual burden (Reddy, 2011).…”

Throughout the past 70 years, the field of LDs has aimed to support children, youth, as well as their families, to generate definitions, understand neurological contributions and create meaningful policies and practices. However, despite decades of research, an emphasis on early identification and prevention, and significant policy documents, children and youth with LDs continue to face equally as important difficulties related to one’s social and emotional well-being. Critical disability studies (CDS) identifies how political, educational, and social contexts serve as sites for (in)justice (Shildrick, 2007). A CDS framework aims to resist the emphasis of individual impairment and deficiency while incorporating the interests and voices of the individuals with disabilities themselves. Few studies have analyzed the impact of mindfulness on how children with LDs cope with stress, ‘failure’, and understand their bodies. As a result, this paper will ask: how can mindfulness-based practices be used as a tool to improve the overall well-being of children and youth with a LD? With support from CDS and the utilization of mindfulness-based practices, children and youth with LDs can become connected to the body and mind. This study will enable future research on the importance of self-advocacy, coping, confidence, attention, and emotional regulation for children with LDs. It is through these liberating frameworks that children with LDs can become emancipated from political, historic, social, and cultural constraints.

“…The medical model of disability developed in research in which disability came to be defined as an individual problem that required medical intervention, focusing almost exclusively on disability as embodiment (Siebers, ). These treatments remained rooted in the biological deterministic perspective that grew out of the eugenics movement, and it focused on the assignment of medical meanings and definitions to disability (Reddy, ). In these treatments, variations in the human body were seen as inherently deviant from the able‐bodied norm.…”

Research on physical disability in sociological social psychology: The state of the field and future directions

We discuss the state of the research literature on physical disability in sociology, focusing particularly on social psychology. We first trace the history of treatments of disability in the field, noting a movement from a medical model that located disability in the individual to a social model that recognizes physical disability as an important social characteristic that is both produced by and has important consequences for social interactions. We then summarize contemporary research, identifying areas in which sociological research tends to be located, particularly in critical approaches, health‐related outcomes, and stigma. Finally, we discuss areas in which more research on physical disability would be fruitful. We believe that research on group processes, intersectionality, and identity would each especially benefit from greater attention to physical disability.
