Speaker: Talking past each other:…, in reply to Joshua Arbury,
although it took a long time

Access: Disability as a wicked policy problem, in reply to Rosemary McDonald,
If you view disability as an interaction between personal impairment and environmental/social settings, then a partner or parent will not experience the impairment, but they may well experience the disablement, especially social attitudes. Discrimination and injustice hurts everyone to some degree.
Having said which, there is a long and troubling history of disabled people being spoken for by our families and those who provide services for us. That needs to be deliberately overturned. Strengthening voices requires investment, which in turn requires us being seen as worth investing in.
Intellectual frameworks ultimately depend on the coherence of views in the committee and the govt agencies who have a stake in this process.
