Abstract

This final chapter considers the future directions of a connection between disability and occupation as they are framed in disability studies, occupational science and occupational therapy, and anthropology. Using examples from science fiction literature, the authors explore how this discussion can move beyond arguments around equality to addressing inequities, and at the same time remain grounded in human values.
