This book presents a study of the perspectives and experiences of 36 disabled young adults, some of their parents, teachers and friends, on coming of age as a disabled person in Iceland. The young people of the study belong to the first generation of disabled children and youth to grow up with normalisation and inclusion in school and society as the law of the land. The aim is to describe, explore and interpret the social construction of disabled adulthood within culture and society, and to describe how inclusive and exclusionary processes within families, school and society, impact young disabled persons' claims to adulthood. The study is located within disability studies, and within a social constructivist, interpretative framework, involving interviews and document analysis. This volume focuses on the emergence of young disabled adulthood and on how families, general or segregated special education and special or generic support systems and relationships impact that process. The lesson learned form this book apply to the disabled everywhere.

Understanding Disability Throughout History explores seldom-heard voices from the past by studying the hidden lives of disabled people before the concept of disability existed culturally, socially and administratively. The book focuses on Iceland from the Age of Settlement, traditionally considered to have taken place from 874 to 930, until the 1936 Law on Social Security (Lög um almannatryggingar), which is the first time that disabled people were referenced in Iceland as a legal or administrative category. Data sources analysed in the project represent a broad range of materials that are not often featured in the study of disability, such as bone collections, medieval literature and census data from the early modern era, archaeological remains, historical archives, folktales and legends, personal narratives and museum displays. The ten chapters include contributions from multidisciplinary team of experts working in the fields of Disability Studies, History, Archaeology, Medieval Icelandic Literature, Folklore and Ethnology, Anthropology, Museum Studies, and Archival Sciences, along with a collection of post-doctoral and graduate students. The volume will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, history, medieval studies, ethnology, folklore, and archaeology.

The government-led digital strategies at the national level in Iceland are either becoming outdated and primarily focused on web accessibility, such as the Web Accessibility Strategy (Aðgengisstefna fyrir opinbera vefi) from 2012, or else are more broadly concerned with digitalisation, such as the more recent Stafrænt Ísland (Digital Iceland) initiative, but lack much of a disability specific focus. Some sector specific strategies that include a digital focus, such as the national policy for the Icelandic Health Services to 2030, contain very little about disability. Other sector specific strategies, such as the 2018-2022 Strategy on Language Technology in Support of the Icelandic Language, contain references to, for example, text-to-speech software, speech-recognition and speech-to-text, and argues for the importance of making these technologies available in Icelandic based formats to a wide variety of user needs. As such in Iceland at the national level strategies on digitalisation and digital transformation are uneven in regard to disability inclusion. However, the impact of national-level strategies can most likely be felt at the municipal level via funding. The municipalities in Iceland play an important role in providing services to disabled people, and this is where some digital inclusion work is being done. An example of this is the City of Reykjavík's Green Plan' (Græna Planið). While neither a digital strategy nor a disability specific plan, the Green Plan nevertheless contains a focus on digital transformations which include the modernisation of services on the basis of the population with improved access to services for city residents including people with disabilities. One of the key goals of the plan as stated: "The city's digital transformation will facilitate information access for all groups and ultimately give them a voice." During a meeting of Reykjavík City Council (25 March 2021 - Fundur nr. 5622)8 the City Council agreed to provide ISK 3 billion in digital transformations.
