This is relevant because when focus is on either migration or disability, unique challenges faced by disabled migrants are neglected, leading to fragmented support and a lack of accurate knowledge. The analysis is based on retrospective data from photovoice sessions conducted within the context of a community-based project, Disabled Refugees Welcome (DRW). A secondary analysis has involved eight of the members from the original photovoice sessions as well as academics. The results are presented in a narrative thematic analysis. The findings show how the combined effects of liminality, structural violence (lack of accessible and adapted housing, lack of access to knowledge about societal resources), and multiple discrimination risks can result in permanent exclusion.","PeriodicalId":48208,"journal":{"name":"Disability & Society","volume":"14 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136159357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is growing support for person-centred, holistic and community approaches to enhancing wellbeing for autistic people. Social prescribing may be one such approach. This qualitative study explored the concept of wellbeing for autistic adults – including barriers and self-management – and the implications of this for modifying social prescribing. It involved semi-structured interviews with 21 autistic adults in the UK. Reflexive thematic analysis of the data supports research suggesting that self-determination may underlie many aspects of wellbeing for autistic people. The COVID-19 pandemic provided new opportunities to develop wellbeing strategies but also had negative impacts. Social prescribing could promote self-determination by signposting autistic people to peer support opportunities building on intrinsic interests.","PeriodicalId":48208,"journal":{"name":"Disability & Society","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136012622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article examines selected mobile banking applications of four Polish banks in the context of their adaptation to the needs of consumers with disabilities. The project used a descriptive case study method based on analytical induction, and observation was carried out for six months. The analysis of the application was conducted in two parts: the adaptation of interfaces and functionalities to the preferences of people with disabilities in terms of readability, the efficiency of the application, and comprehensibility of the form of information transfer, and other accessible functionalities within the analysed applications that meet the needs of people with disabilities. The study’s results indicate the strengths of the accessibility of the analysed mobile applications as well as their limitations in enhancing independent living for people with disabilities.Points of interestSmartphones and mobile apps are becoming an inseparable part of the everyday life of consumers all over the world.The paper examines the design of modern banking apps in Poland in the context of their adaptation to the needs of consumers with disabilities.While the tested mobile applications meet many criteria of accessibility, there is room for improvement.The study indicates that further guidelines are needed to improve the usability and accessibility of banking apps and help conduct further consumer research in this area.Keywords: Accessibilityassistive technologymobile appsmobile bankingcase study Disclosure statementThe authors report that there are no competing interests to declare.","PeriodicalId":48208,"journal":{"name":"Disability & Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135093161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Online posts (and their replies) were subject to inductive thematic analysis and six themes were extracted from the data. These themes were (i) impact on education, (ii) isolation from peers, (iii) seeking advice and support, (iv) barriers to assistance and accommodations, (v) impact of accommodations, and (vi) providing guidance and support.

NDIS is an Australian, personalised funding, insurance scheme designed to provide supports that enable individuals living with disability to live an ‘ordinary’ contributing life. This lived-experience-led, qualitative study employed constructivist grounded theory methods. Twenty people were interviewed in-depth. Findings evidenced the poor experiences of choice and control people had on the Scheme. Choice and control were impeded by systems and processes as well as failure to accommodate for challenges associated with mental ill-health. Introduction of the ‘psychosocial recovery framework’ offers hope of improved experiences of choice and control, but it needs to be accompanied by cultural change across the NDIS service system.","PeriodicalId":48208,"journal":{"name":"Disability & Society","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135830067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, it is interpreted as a structural test where networks and resources are necessary to achieve them. With a qualitative approach, this research shows how disabled people in the South of Chile plan and achieve their mobilities using the resources available from their family and institutional networks. The results suggest that people together with their family, ‘kith,’ ‘other informal’, public and private institutions achieve ‘making possible’ their mobilities. Thus, they can access various services: healthcare, withdraw pensions, go shopping and deal with bureaucracy. Finally, we conclude that mobilities ‘produce the individual,’ in the sense that, depending on the source of the social supports that allow their mobilities, they may be considered ‘agentic’ or ‘institutionalised’ individuals.POINTS OF INTERESTMobilities allow access to services and activities of interest, and therefore play a key role in the social inclusion of disabled people.Mobilities can also be interpreted as daily challenges that people are forced to face in order to access various daily activities.Available research on this topic and the results of this study suggests that disabled people in rural areas manage to carry out their mobilities mainly due to support from family, institutional and ‘other informal’ networks.Mobility and its management might be incorporated into public policies, leading to improvements in the conditions for accessibility of disabled people, above all in rural areas.Keywords: Disabilitymobilitiesindividuationstructural testsocial supports AcknowledgementsThe author thanks everyone who voluntarily wanted to participate in this study, sharing their stories with me.
