In this article the author suggests that the recent emergence of significant numbers of organisations controlled and run by disabled people constitutes nothing less than the rise and coming of age of a new social movement. Traces its roots, provides a commentary on contemporary developments and evaluates its impact. Also discusses the role of local organisations which have played on significant part in the development of the movement.
