The resources on these pages have been organised by broad 'topic' to help you find the resources you need as easily and quickly as possible, but you can also navigate these resources by format or by time period.
We have included as topics both named disabilities and other related subjects such as medical technologies and war trauma in an attempt to provide as wide a base of knowledge as possible.
We welcome feedback and suggestions for additional resources. We are particularly looking for recommendations of resources on the history of anxiety, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, mutism, and speech impairments.
Below are some useful resources to help determine the appropriate terminology related to different disabilities through time.
