Disability discrimination and well-being in the United Kingdom: a prospective cohort study
ObjectivesDisability discrimination is linked with poorer well-being cross-sectionally. The aim of this study was to explore prospective associations between disability discrimination and well-being.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingThe United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study.ParticipantsData were from 871 individuals with a self-reported physical, cognitive or sensory disability.Primary outcome measuresDepression was assessed in 2009/10. Psychological distress, mental functioning, life satisfaction and self-rated health were assessed in 2009/10 and 2013/14.ResultsData were analysed using linear and logistic regression with adjustment for age, sex, household income, education, ethnicity and impairment category. Perceived disability discrimination was reported by 117 (13.4%) participants. Cross-sectionally, discrimination was associated with depression (OR=5.40, 95% CI 3.25 to 8.97) fair/poor self-rated health (OR=2.05; 95% CI 1.19 to 3.51), greater psychological distress (B=3.28, 95% CI 2.41 to 4.14), poorer mental functioning (B=−7.35; 95% CI −9.70 to −5.02) and life satisfaction (B=−1.27, 95% CI −1.66 to −0.87). Prospectively, discrimination was associated with increased psychological distress (B=2.88, 95% CI 1.39 to 4.36) and poorer mental functioning (B=−5.12; 95% CI −8.91 to −1.34), adjusting for baseline scores.ConclusionsPerceived disability-related discrimination is linked with poorer well-being. These findings underscore the need for interventions to combat disability discrimination.

Ableism experienced by disabled undergraduate nursing students in the United States: A qualitative metasynthesis
Synthesize existing body of qualitative research on ableism experienced by disabled BSN students in the United States
Disabled nursing students across the United States experience discrimination and exclusion from BSN programs. Qualitative metasynthesis data is needed to inform quantitative research on this topic.
Qualitative metasynthesis literature review
A systematic database search across CINAHL, PubMed MEDLINE, PsycINFO, ERIC and Education Research Complete was guided by structured search criteria. Peer-reviewed research articles and dissertations were included if published between 2010 and 2024, contained a qualitative component, and centered ableism toward disabled BSN students in the United States. Articles underwent Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool, Gerrard’s Matrix Method, and thematic analysis.
The search generated 1420 articles with seven selected for inclusion. Three overarching themes included ‘Discrimination: Faculty, Peers and Systemic Barriers,’ ‘Hiding: The Desire for ‘Normalcy,’ and ‘Diversity: Advantages over Nondisabled Peers.’
Major themes across the data included disabled BSN students experiencing discrimination--primarily from faculty in terms of matriculation, retention and graduation, attempting to hide one's disability to stay in the program, and cognizance of advantages of bodymind diversity in the nursing workforce. Gaps in literature indicate need to investigate:
1) innovative pedagogies to educate nursing students and instructors about ableism/disability considering cross-institutional lack of disability consciousness;
2) experiences of racially marginalized and gender minority disabled nursing students. The voices multiply marginalized disabled students must be centered and their absence investigated; and
3) what types of disabilities (hidden vs. apparent, temporary vs. permanent) are admitted/accommodated for and how to address disparities

Disability rights on probation and parole
This Article addresses disability discrimination in community supervision programs, a large-but frequently overlooked-component of the criminal legal system and important contributor to America's mass incarceration crisis. The long-standing concerns of legal scholars and advocates about disability discrimination in prisons and policing, particularly against people with mental health disabilities, apply with equal measure to probation and parole. This Article examines the experiences of people with intellectual/developmental, cognitive, and mental health disabilities to understand how disability discrimination manifests in probation and parole programs and identifies numerous policies and practices that likely run afoul of two major federal disability rights laws: the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act. In explaining why such disability discrimination goes seemingly unchecked, this Article identifies major jurisdictional barriers to enforcement in the federal courts: the 'Preiser-Heck' bar on certain civil rights litigation, abstention doctrines that insulate state criminal court decisions from review, and Eleventh Amendment limits on damages actions against state entities. Given those barriers, this Article suggests that supervision programs ensure robust compliance with disability discrimination laws by utilizing a universal design approach, providing appropriate accommodations to supervisees, and eliminating discriminatory standards. It further argues that defense lawyers and other criminal justice actors should receive training about disability discrimination laws, so they are better able to recognize and remediate disability discrimination. Finally, it suggests the expansion of diversion programs for people with disabilities, particularly those who May struggle to comply with traditional probation programs.

Spectacular listening : music and disability in the digital age
\"How do people turn listening into a musical performance? Through a series of compelling case studies, author Byrd McDaniel offers \"spectacular listening\" as a concept that explains the pervasive appeal of translating music consumption into a public practice, in a book that encompasses air guitar competitions, lip syncing apps, podcasts, music memes, reaction videos, video platforms, and attention-grabbing content creators. Through a series of mixed methods from ethnomusicology and media studies, McDaniel investigates the way digital platforms incentivize people to share their listening with others. Exploring themes related to circulation, vulnerability, accessibility, and reactivity, McDaniel examines how the increasing popularity of these practices challenges dominant listening norms, while focusing in particular on the stakes for listeners with disabilities. He reveals how listening-as-performance can be an opportunity for play, as well as a critical practice that exposes ableism in music institutions, technologies, and discourse\"-- Provided by publisher.

Unveiling ableism and disablism in assessment: a critical analysis of disabled students’ experiences of assessment and assessment accommodations
This study examines the underlying mechanisms of ableism and disablism in the assessment of student learning in higher education. Globally, higher education institutions rely strongly on assessment accommodations (e.g., extra time in tests) to ensure disabled students’ participation in assessment. This is also the case in Finland. Even though research on disabled students’ experiences of assessment has repeatedly shown that both assessment and assessment accommodations cause barriers for disabled students’ inclusion, critically oriented research on this topic has been scarce. In this study, the frameworks of ableism and disablism are used to unveil how assessment is predominantly designed for “the ideal, able student” and how disabled students are framed as “the Other” through assessment. This work is based on an analysis of 139 disabled students’ experiences of assessment and assessment accommodations as collected through an open-ended, institution-wide survey at a Finnish university. The findings reveal the profound role of assessment in excluding and marginalizing disabled students as unfit to take part in the testing cultures of academia. The accommodation model is shown to hold disabled people responsible for their own exclusion. Disablism is identified in students’ experiences of outright discrimination, such as teachers denying access to assessment accommodations when they are officially granted. This study offers a novel, critical means of discussing assessment from the viewpoints of diversity and inclusion. It also proposes future trajectories for anti-ableist assessment approaches that understand diversity as enriching, rather than obscuring, assessment.
