Disability: from public action to life experiences.

Summary In recent years, French disability policies have been enriched by a collective dimension aiming at better social inclusion of the persons concerned. How are these policies perceived by their recipients? Do they achieve their goal of improving the social life of people with disabilities? This is the subject of research conducted in sociology by Anne Revillard, a researcher at the Observatoire sociologique des changements (OSC) and the Laboratoire interdisciplinaire d'évaluation des politiques publiques (LIEPP). She presents the results in an article entitled "La réception des politiques du handicap : une approche par entretiens biographiques" (The reception of disability policies: a biographical interview approach) - recently published by the Revue française de sociologie.
