A therapist/artist friend, who sometimes guest-lectures to
students in physical therapy and other fields, asked my help in finding
some key pieces promoting a disability rights perspective, which could be
assigned as part of a 1-2 week mini-course. He was interested in covering
a number of perspectives (medicine, politics, popular culture, etc). He's
looking for about 4 or so articles. Off the top of my head, I came up
with the following 3. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Really upsets conventional notions of the tragedy of a
prenatal Dx
