Beneficial effects of the online medium have been reported for disabled people in terms of providing a 'levelling ground' where they can be treated on their merits as a person, rather than as a disabled person. In this study participants were recruited from various disability organisations in New Zealand and invited to take part in an online interview. The article provides a forum for considering how the online medium offers opportunities for disabled people to position themselves in the social world.
