This article covers three basic periods: 1) First steps, starting from the turn of the 20th century until the 1940s; 2) Minimal state intervention to deal with the issue (1948 – 1985), and 3)the most recent period, where children with a disability are dealt with in a more comprehensive way within the terms of a social welfare state (1985 – 2004).Item type: Item , Education in the Prevention of Social Exclusion(University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2005) Jahnukainen, MarkkuSocial exclusion is a frequently used concept in different youth programs in the European Union.

Who is Not? Teachers Perceptions of Disability in Lesotho(University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2005) Johnstone, Christopher J.This paper reports on educational research conducted in Lesotho, Southern Africa. Mixed methods of research were used to elicit and describe teachers’ attitudes toward children they perceived as disabled.

Over-arching themes are compared to themes that have emerged from special education and Disability Studies literature over the past decade.Item type: Item , Reflections on Inclusion: Integrating the Disabled Self(University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2005) Lance, G.

From February 2003 – April 2004, through personal and family interviews, a personal journal and autobiography, field notes, observations at home, school and in extracurricular activities, the personal perceptions and experiences of what it is like living with albinism and being African-American surfaced for this student. This article addresses identity issues regarding race, gender and ability, and discusses two theories: Critical race theory (CRT) and disability theory to answer the questions, who and what defines this female’s identity? Utilizing the lens of critical race theory and disability theorists, the following case study will examine issues related to being an African-American female student with albinism in Hawaii. The complexities of issues that make up Taylour’s life include: 1. The societal definition of her race andthe implications of stereotypes and name-calling that reflect these views; 2. The issue of how society defines her disability, which often excludes blindness, but focuses on albinism and finally; 3. Self-identity and personal reflection and how Taylour relates to being African-American and having albinism.Item type: Item , Review of Disability Studies: An International Journal Volume 2 Issue 3(University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2005)
