Abstract
Scholarship on disability and communication in organizations is still a nascent area of research and often ignores an understanding of the various modes of disability and the history of disability rights organizing. This entry offers an explanation of five approaches to conceptualizing disability. It then summarizes the ways understandings of disability have been organized in the disability rights movement and provides a discussion of how disability is communicated in organizations through policy and interactions, as well as the ways disability centered organizing has been studied, placing emphasis on the “activist‐scholar” model of research.
