Abstract
- This reflexive ethnographic study examines the work disabled people do to 'self-manage' attendant services. The data reveal diverse facets of work reported by 'self-managers', their support networks and program administrators. The analysis found that self-managers' work is often represented as 'something other than work', if and when it is represented at all. In this paper, disability studies and feminist perspectives on work inform a discussion of factors that may be seen to render self-managers' work 'invisible', and implications of self-managed models that require contributions of invisible work.
