Fundamental Principles of Disability
Abstract
The purpose of giving this chapter a similar title to the Fundamental Principles document is because it is deliberately derivative of it. I, and many other disabled people, openly acknowledge our debt to the document in the way it shaped our own understanding of disability. The document has never been widely available and with the demise of the Union in 1991, it will become increasingly difficult to obtain.

“Seen this way, any ‘disability’ is not best understood as the result of an individual’s unique characteristics, but rather as a result of an environment that does not effectively accommodate those characteristics (Oliver, 1996; Union of the Physically Impaired Against Segregation, 1976).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
