Abstract
This chapter reviews research on disability identity, which incorporates representations of the self, including one’s impairment status or particular disabling condition, along with one’s sense of belonging to or solidarity with the disability community.
While some individuals’ disability identity may be ambivalently or even negatively construed, many have developed positive disability self-definitions that are central to self-construal.
These variable self-definitions about one’s specific impairments and disability experiences have important psychosocial consequences for social relations, self-understanding, and adjustment to disability status.
This chapter describes several disability identity models and measures and highlights research on the correlates and consequences associated with disability identification.
Finally, the chapter offers suggestions for practitioners interested in cultivating and leveraging the benefits of disability identity to promote clients’ health, well-being, and advocacy interests along with recommendations for future scholarship informed by experts—people with disabilities themselves.
