Abstract:
The present qualitative interview study explored disability identity development, a unique aspect of identity, and its relationship to school and special education. Adults with disabilities reflected on their schooling experiences in special education through a life history interview and semi-structured interview about their schooling experiences. This study suggests the power and potential of special education to develop disability community and identity in students with disabilities. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
