The field of teaching and research in the area of disability studies is growing worldwide. Disability studies is based on the premise that the disadvantage typically experienced by those who are disabled reflects primarily the way societydefines and responds to certain types of 'difference'.[1] In 1993an official definition of disability studies was adopted by the Society for Disability Studies , a professional organization of academics from around the world. The Society for Disability Studies offers the following working guidelines for any program that describes itself as 'Disability Studies':[2] It should be interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary. Disability sits at the center of many overlapping disciplines in the humanities , sciences , and social sciences . Programs in Disability Studies should encourage a curriculum that allows students, activists , teachers, artists, practitioners, and researchers to engage the subject matter from various disciplinary perspectives.

Just as women s studies attempts to place women in a social, political and cultural context, so disability studies attempts to place disability in this context and to examine how social structures shape the experience of people with disabilities. In 1993 an official definition of disability studies was adopted by the Society for Disability Studies, a professional organization of academics from around the world. The definition states that disability studies, among other things, "examines the policies and practices of all societies to understand the social, rather than the physical or psychological, determinants of the experience of disability. Disability Studies has been developed to disentangle impairments from the myth, ideology and stigma that influence social interaction and social policy. The scholarship challenges the idea that the economic and social statuses and the assigned roles of people with disabilities are inevitable outcomes of their condition." Lennard Davis, in his introduction to "The Disability Studies Reader," suggests that disability studies has its roots in both activism and academia: "Like the appearance of African American studies following rapidly on the heels of the civil rights movement, there is a reciprocal relationship between political praxis by people with disabilities and the formation of a discursive category of disability studies."

By approaching disability from the perspective of human diversity and universality, the program promotes a more accurate understanding and appreciation of people with disabilities and the evolution of their civil rights movement; it also invites students to reflect on how the study of disability relates to professional, social and personal aspects of their lives.

Today, Disability Studies is a nearly global phenomenon with universities in Scandinavia, Asia, Europe and South Africa offering minors, certificates, graduate, and undergraduate degrees in the field. Disability Studies grew out of the Independent Living movements, and gained momentum as people with disabilities and their advocates began deeper and more active engagement in the political process so as to effect changes in public policy. With its basis in social activism, many disability theorists began to question the exclusive focus on disability as a sickness or impairment that needed to be corrected and favored a theoretical approach that takes into account the ways in which society uses images and language to shape notions of ability/disability.

The social model of disability locates the changing character of disability, which is viewed as an important dimension of inequality, in the social and economic structure and culture of the society in which it is found, rather than in individual limitations.
