Summary
How can we learn to notice the signs of disability?
We see indications of disability everywhere: yellow diamond-shaped “deaf person in area” road signs, the telltale shapes of hearing aids, or white-tipped canes sweeping across footpaths.

Critics Review
“This engaging, accessible book builds on Stephanie Kerschbaum’s already-award- winning scholarship on difference and discourse, constructing new research methods and approaches, but also building community on these pages. Signs of Disability offers an incredibly generative vocabulary for understanding the ways that disability matters: how we mark and signal it, how we ignore and hide it, how we powerfully inhabit and embody it through stories. Signs of Disability is a transformative book.” (Jay Dolmage, University of Waterloo) “A lovely, powerful read, Signs of Disability makes consequential, engaging, and evocative contributions to scholarship in disability studies and in rhetorical studies. The book’s theoretical and methodological interventions are significant and it offers cogent readings of texts, material culture, bodies, and more. Stephanie Kerschbaum tells powerful stories and draws readers deeply into the material life of disability and its signs.” (Christa J. Olson, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
