This research guide presents recommended resources regarding mental and physical disabilities through multiple disciplines, including law, psychology, education, sociology, and others.
Disability can be talked about with identity/disability-first or person-first language. The person and context often determine which model is used. This guide uses a mix of both. Also note that some older resources may content outdated or offensive language. For example, many in the Deaf community do not consider deafness a disability, but often academic works and federal/local laws do.
