FONTES, Fernando e MARTINS, Bruno Sena. Disability and social inclusion: the paths of medullary injury in Portugal. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2015, n.77, pp.153-172. ISSN 0873-6529. https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2015773293.
This article problematizes the cultural and socio-political positioning of disability through the analyses of the lives of people with spinal cord injuries. Their personal testimonies, collected at different stages of the rehabilitation process, are used to map some of the challenges faced by this group of people in the social inclusion process. This analysis is then complemented with the perspectives of the organizations working in the field and of family members, in order to explore the similarities between the lives of people with spinal cord injuries and the general situation of social exclusion lived by most disabled people in Portugal.
