The Influence of Competing Paradigms on Occupational Therapy Education: a brief history © 2004 Pamalyn Kearney RETURN edited 1/15/05 Abstract Occupational therapists have historically worked with patients within the medical system to not only assist in the recovery from illness and injury but also to facilitate the development of or return to meaningful roles and activities that have been disrupted due to chronic illness or disability. This attention to the lived experience of patients who cannot be "cured" has often resulted in a tension between the perspective of the occupational therapist and other members of the medical team.

Is such a world desirable? Not necessarily so, says artist and computer animator Simon McKeown from the University of Teesside’s School of Computing, who is challenging many of the notions of so-called human ‘imperfection’ in a high-tech film-based exhibition called Motion Disabled. Produced with colleagues in the West Midlands, it uses a number of ‘disabled actors’ from around the country and opens at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery on 24 January, 2009 with a run of four months. “Motion Disabled is an animated digital sculpture,” says Simon McKeown, Teesside University’s Reader in Computer Animation and one of Britain’s most experienced 3D animators, with 20 years’ industry experience in TV and computer games production.

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Autism as Academic Paradigm - The Chronicle Review. By Tyler Cowen Thinking back on history, maybe you've wondered how it was that American colleges and universities could ever have contributed to racist discourse. But Princeton and many other institutions kept out Jews, and "academic" defenses of slavery, segregation, and eugenics were commonplace until broader social changes rendered such views unacceptable. The sad truth is that dehumanizing ideologies are still with us in the modern university, although they take very different forms. Prime examples include the unacceptable ways we sometimes talk and think about the autism spectrum.
A few years ago, Michael L. David Bainbridge is a veterinary anatomist at the University of Cambridge. The point is not to focus blame on these particular individuals, as they have soaked up common ideas, attitudes, and presuppositions from a broader setting. I've cited some of the more obvious examples, but the underlying biases are much more deeply rooted. The economist and Nobel laureate Vernon L. An Amputee Sprinter: Is He Disabled or Too-Abled?
