'Intentional communities of attachment' are communities where people with a disability and non-disabled people live together outside of professionalised care arrangements or family obligation. They can demonstrate a very different approach to meeting the needs and aspirations of disabled people. The experiences of such communities can provide important indications for the practice and development of community care generally, according to a study by the author.

'I was born (in a hospital bed) when I was 31 years old', is on one level an analysis of a personal experience and reaction to growing up with a disability. It is also a look at a process of integrating one person's awakening to the positive role a disability might play in someone's life with a common history of other individuals with disabilities and with the evolution of the disability rights movement in the US from the 1970s to the twenty-first century. The article is based on a speech delivered to a five-state disability rights conference in the early 1990s.
