• W2342896888 abstract "The Words and Worlds of Disability: Discourses on Disablement within the Situated Practices of Service Providers by Enitza C. Carril Advisor: Dr. Anna Stetsenko From a traditional perspective, disability stood outside the normal bounds of development, belonging within the realm of pathology and the disabled person was defined as deficient. Disability may also be characterized as an instance of human diversity and disabled as a designated identity that is socially constructed in an ongoing process—an interaction between individuals and social contexts. The process of disablement is linked to discourses used to define and act upon people ascribed with a disabled identity. This study assumes that disability is an instance of human diversity, a valid developmental trajectory, which is enacted and embedded in sociocultural, political, economic, historical, and discursive contexts. Discourses contribute to how disability is understood and then enacted in policies and situated everyday practices. With a focus on the human service delivery system for developmentally disabled people, I assessed discourses and conceptualizations of disability enacted by service providers through narrative inquiry. I also collaborated with service providers through a focus group discussion, guided by sociocultural theories on teaching and learning, to introduce neurodiversity and disablement as a contextualized process. The results of this study suggest the situated nature of discourse, with SERVICE PROVIDERS’ DISCOURSES v varying language as it relates to local practices. Situated practice-based discourses enacted “on the ground” were in tension with local/service-driven and deficit-based languages. The ways of conceptualizing and understanding disability, however, were consistently that of a socially contextualized construct. Service providers negotiated different positions in attempts to exercise agency and contest the designation of passivity attributed to disabled people they work with. Their language, however, varied and incorporated deficit-based, local, and situated practicebased discourses. Although disability is understood as a complex process beyond personal deficiency, discourses appear to remain in transition. SERVICE PROVIDERS’ DISCOURSES vi ACKNOWLEGMENTS The completion of this dissertation has been possible through the collaborative effort of many people who have provided me with the expertise, support, and scaffold to build this work. I would like to thank Dr. Anna Stetsenko, my committee chair, whose contribution and belief in this work has been invaluable. Throughout my doctoral studies Anna has been a brilliant advisor who has taught me the value of critical thinking and the practicality of a good theory. I deeply admire and respect her and her work. I would also like to thank my dissertation committee. I owe gratitude to Dr. Joseph Glick for his incredible insight during this project. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from someone as knowledgeable as Joe. His thought provoking questions propelled this work in new directions. I greatly appreciate the contribution of Dr. Kristen Gillespie-Lynch, who has been instrumental in the evolution of this dissertation. Kristen is an amazing scholar who has broadened my perspective and taught me vastly on holistic approaches. I would also like to thank Dr. David Chapin and Dr. Priya Lalvani. Their feedback and questions were a critical part in making this dissertation possible. I appreciate their time, encouragement, and kind recommendations to improve this work. I would like to acknowledge the participants in this study. I am deeply grateful and indebted to them for their willingness to candidly share their thoughts and experiences. I would also like to acknowledge the organization that gave me the opportunity to conduct research with their employees. I am appreciative for the trust instilled in me and in my work. I am grateful to Dawn White for her guidance throughout my career. Her mentorship, support, and expertise have been instrumental in my professional development. SERVICE PROVIDERS’ DISCOURSES vii My parents, Emilio and Alicia, are my motivation. I would like to thank them for teaching me what it means to love and believe without conditions or bounds. Their unrelenting belief in me has given me the strength and confidence to succeed even when belief in myself wavered. I feel privileged to have them as parents and hope that one day I can be as good a parent as they have been to me. My daughter, my inspiration—Karen, inspires me to persist no matter how difficult or daunting a task may seem. She has taught me how to laugh and enjoy the moment but most importantly she has given me purpose. I would like to thank Kelly Nagy for taking on so much while I have been figuratively away. Her support, encouragement, and motivational texts have been vital in making this a reality. I must also acknowledge Holly-Peno and Habi-Nero for their loyalty and companionship during the many long hours of dissertation writing. I have never felt alone with them by my side.
