Discusses how social work literature, research, and practice on disabilities has lagged behind other topical areas dealing with oppressed groups. Presents a social work literature search and analysis as well as interviews with six individuals with disabilities about their experiences with social workers. Individuals with disabilities assert that they were treated as though they had categorically fewer aspirations, abilities, and perhaps even fundamental rights than did non-disabled people. Provides a base for follow-up research on models of consumer-focused social worker practice in the area of disability.
