Book excerpt: Social power has been successfully used as a tool to analyze events surrounding politically charged racial and gender inequities. The group of people who have received a diagnosis of developmental disability could be classified as a similar political entity to other studied groups since they face many of the same types of discrimination and social stigma. The study guide you hold in your hands was created as a companion publication for This study guide was created for two purposes. First, to assist a student enrolled in college course work related to their Certified Disability Advocate preparation; and second, to assist People First groups and groups of interested others in understanding the ideas about social power relationships that are becoming more common amongst people who care deeply about disability issues.
