In this article, we use the case of autism to examine the role of nonprofits in shaping understandings of disability.Item Consuming Disability: A New Dutch System for Hearing Aid Distribution(University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2008) Olaussen, IreneIn the context of a Dutch market-oriented health care reform, this article investigates the role of two powerful, yet little examined actors in the field of hearing disability: multinational corporations and technology. Based on a notion of “co-production,” the article develops an explanation of the new Dutch system for hearing aid distribution resulting from the interplay between new hearing technologies and an emerging corporate discourse on disability. The results point to technology as a potentially important site for democratic intervention.Item College Preparation and Participation: Reports from Individuals Who Have Speech and Mobility Disabilities(University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2008) Isakson, Carole; Burgstahler, SherylIn this qualitative research study, nine individuals with mobility and speech disabilities reported on their experiences preparing for and participating in postsecondary education.
