In this paper Deal discusses Hierarchies of Impairment. Once again, this term is essential to building an analytic vocabulary of disability for lay people, academics and techies alike. Hierarchies of Impairment have been researched since the 1970s, however, where previous work has explored how different impairments receive different status in society (and, as a result, with regard to technology, different resources and research attention) Deal extends this analysis to incorporate the attitudes of disabled people themselves. Deal\u2019s research has powerful applied implications \u2013 particularly for those of us seeking to create inclusive environments. It identifies how we might desconstruct mainstream notions of \u2018disability\u2019 to identify those most marginalised within society. It also highlights how disablism (and aversive disablism) can function between disabled groups, allowing an analysis of representation. For those of us in technical disciplines, Deal\u2019s thesis also allows us to evaluate the ways in which hierarchies of impairment are re-orientated by new contexts (for example, the internet) and different cultures.<\/p>\n<p>A forthcoming publication\u00a0co-authored with <a title=\"Henny Swan's blog\" href=\"http:\/\/www.iheni.com\" target=\"_blank\">Henny Swan<\/a> pushes this envelope with respect to <a title=\"Publications\" href=\"http:\/\/slewth.wordpress.com\/publications\/\">Web Standards and the Majority World<\/a>.
