Self-Determination and Disability Rights

Lessons From the Women's Movement

University of Utah

The methods employed by the women's rights movement are used in this article as a template for the future growth of the self-determination and disability rights movements. The focus is not on drawing parallels between these movements, but on looking at what specific methods were effective for the women's movement and then applying those methods to the self-determination movement. Specific methods and recommendations fall into 4 categories: academic/theoretical, leadership, political, and economic. The need for more direct involvement of individuals with disabilities in all of these areas is emphasized.
