This book will be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and
researchers in disability studies, childhood studies, medicine and
health sciences, and sociology. It also provides insights that will
be of use and value to professionals working with disabled children
and adolescents in education, health and in disability-specific
services. Opening with four narratives that offer the reader a
window into the lived experience of disabled children, adolescents
and their families, subsequent chapters explore a range of issues
facing disabled children from early childhood through to late
adolescence. Topics include family life, early intervention,
inclusive and post-secondary education, the right to play, digital
participation, the effects of labelling and matters relating to
agency and sexuality. With chapters discussing research from
Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand,
Sweden and the UK amongst others, this book: • contributes to the
existing body of knowledge about the lives of disabled children and
adolescents, with a focus on socially-created disabling factors;
• provides the reader with analysis of issues affecting disabled
children and adolescents according to different conceptual
frameworks, national contexts and with regard to different types of
impairments/disabilities; • highlights the main issues that
confront disabled children and adolescents, their families and
their allies in the early twenty-first century; • highlights the
importance of actively listening to the perspectives of disabled
children and adolescents. It provides a rich source of knowledge
and information about the lives of disabled children and
adolescents, and a variety of perspectives on how their lives are
affected by material and non-material factors, social structures
and cultural constructions.
