Acknowledgements
I am grateful to all the authors whose papers feature in this collection and to the Executive Editorial Board whose high-quality refereeing enables the journal to publish this important Special Issue. Members of the Executive Editorial Board work tirelessly to sustain the significant position of Disability & Society in the field of disability studies and sincere thanks are due for the ongoing commitment each gives to this work. Helen Oliver has once again provided invaluable, warm and efficient administrative support on the production of the Special Issue which is much appreciated. Also our thanks are extended to the publishers who at all times offer a consistent and helpful support to sustain the integrity and impact of the journal.
