Conclusion on disability policy

Sally Robinson and Karen R. Fisher

Chapter 70 in Research Handbook on Disability Policy, 2023, pp 823-829 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The handbook on disability policy focuses on how policy is affecting the human rights of people with disability, and what policy changes are needed to advance social justice and equity. The conclusion chapter addresses the themes from the contributions to the book. The themes are about human rights as a concept, in law and in UN Conventions influencing policy and the potential to enhance that framing; common experiences of local change informed by other locations; intersectional experiences, inequities and disadvantages imposed on people with diverse experiences within disability, gender, age and location; gaps between policy, implementation and lived experience; how diversity stimulates policy innovation from responses to opportunities and barriers; inclusion and leadership from people with disability in policy and research; and the potential for future disability policy change that learns from interdisciplinary, cross-cultural and global experiences. The book opens dialogue about the potential of disability policy and its analysis to progress the rights of people with disability.
