The readings address issues pertaining to psychiatric disabilities, hidden physical disabilities, and autism. They
explore issues of discrimination and exclusion that are specific to these populations but are also relevant to
disability issues at large. Of particular interest is the role those labeled have in research, theory, and practice
related to disability. While reading, consider how the knowledge and information presented by the authors help
inform your understanding of neurodiversity and the type of service provider you would like to become. Do you
find the voices and perspectives of those labeled relevant to research and your understanding of disability?
Why or why not?
