Working together with students, we have written a play script that explores the entangled intra-active perceptions of the various players. The script was used in the professional development of educators as a means of exploring the diffractive movements through which differences are made in inclusive classrooms. It opens the possibility of moving away from thinking in terms of individual accountability toward an intra-active exploration of the ethics of such encounters.

Research paper thumbnail of Patient perspectives on employment participation in the “hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome”

Disability and Rehabilitation, 2019

Most studies have focused on describing the physical symptoms and level of disability, but little knowledge exists about the psychosocial effects of the pathology. Participation in employment is an aspect that strongly influences quality of life of patients with chronic pathologies. This study, therefore, aimed to explore the lived experiences in employment participation of patients diagnosed with "hypermobile EDS". Methods: An inductive thematic analysis, using semi-structured interviews was used. Nine patients, purposively selected by a continuum sampling strategy, were included. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Results: Data analysis resulted in three main themes: (1) elements assisting participation in employment, (2) limitations in employment participation, and (3) unemployment due to the "hypermobile EDS". On the one hand, the results show that related health complaints can impede employment participation to an important extent. On the other hand, patients also report several aspects of work that can affect their well-being in a positive way. Conclusion: There are specific reasons for a person with "hypermobile EDS" to participate in employment. These reasons are different for each person and may even vary in time. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION "Hypermobile EDS" greatly impacts activities and participation in daily life. "Living with limitations" is the central theme in the lives of "Hypermobile EDS" patients. Various aspects influence work participation in people with "Hypermobile EDS", such as work pressure, tasks, and transport to work. Work has positive effects in the lives of people with "Hypermobile EDS." Work can create difficulties when the job requirements and tasks do not match the functional abilities of a person with "Hypermobile EDS." ARTICLE HISTORY

The component of participation is in the ICF the manifestation of a bio- psycho-social reasoning. Different participation measures have already been developed and were operationalized through objective and/or a limited set of subjective variables, but keeping them as separate concepts. There is still need for a generic participation instrument including both objective and all relevant subjective variables resulting in one participation score. To develop a generic participation measure based on objective and subjective aspects and leading to one final score; the Ghent Participation Scale (GPS). Additionally it was the aim to explore whether the GPS has a good internal validity by means of factorial validity and homogeneity and whether the GPS is feasible and interpretable.

The reasons are multiple, but one of them can presumably be related to the way students with disabilities are “created”, viewed, and responded to as “special education students” within schools. To challenge this, we need to understand students’ position within the school. In this article, the focus is on identifying the position of students who receive special education in schools in Iceland by mapping their power relations and resistance within the discursive norm of special education. We use the method of thinking with theory and read data in accordance with Foucault’s theories of power relations and resistance and Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts of line of flight and becoming. Findings show that power relations affect students variously and although students’ resistance is manifested differently between individuals, a common thread is visible when resisting their static position as special education stude...

Understanding what support workers do to support people with intellectual disabilities remotely, and how they do this, is therefore important. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the remote support practice of the support staff of the Dutch service DigiContact.MethodsA qualitative study was performed in which we followed an inductive‐iterative process and used different sources of information: documents, interviews with people who are supported by DigiContact and their caseworkers, and interviews with DigiContact support workers.FindingsSeven themes were constructed and described. Four themes reflected the support activities of DigiContact support workers, and three themes reflected qualities that guide how the support is provided.ConclusionsA remote support context can bring both challenges and opportunities to the practice of supporting people with intellectual disabilities. The findings can be useful for service organisations who are contemplating the adoption of remote support initiatives for people with intellectual disabilities.

is the second part of two special issues. The first one is published
in the Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, Brown
& Schippers (Eds.) 2016, 4(4). The two issues are complementary
and together give a broad overview of both developments and
challenges in the field of quality of life and family quality of life.
Over the past decades, the concept of Quality of Life (QOL)
has received an international or global perspective (Brown, Schalock,
& Brown, 2009; WHO, 1993). Quality of life can be considered
as a concept that gives a general idea of what is important in
life, “what it is all about.” Living a quality life is equally important
for people with and without disabilities.
