A crucial contemporary dynamic around children and young people in
the Global North is the multiple ways that have emerged to monitor
their development, behaviour and character. In particular disabled
children or children with unusual developmental patterns can find
themselves surrounded by multiple practices through which they are
examined. This rich book draws on a wide range of qualitative
research to look at how disabled children have been cared for,
treated and categorised. Narrative and longitudinal interviews with
children and their families, along with stories and images they
have produced and notes from observations of different spaces in
their lives - medical consultation rooms, cafes and leisure
centres, homes, classrooms and playgrounds amongst others - all
make a contribution. Bringing this wealth of empirical data
together with conceptual ideas from disability studies, sociology
of the body, childhood studies, symbolic interactionism and
feminist critical theory, the authors explore the multiple ways in
which monitoring occurs within childhood disability and its social
effects. Their discussion includes examining the dynamics of
differentiation via medicine, social interaction, and embodiment
and the multiple actors - including children and young people
themselves - involved. The book also investigates the practices
that differentiate children into different categories and what this
means for notions of normality, integration, belonging and
citizenship. Scrutinising the multiple forms of monitoring around
disabled children and the consequences they generate for how we
think about childhood and what is 'normal', this volume sits at the
intersection of disability studies and childhood studies.
