In this paper it argued that space as well as time, is instrumental in reproducing and sustaning disablist pratices. Disability has distinct spatialities that work to exclude and oppress disabled people. Social relations currently work to spatially isolate and marginalise disabled people and their carers. Disability is spatially, as well as socially constructed. It is contended that an understanding of society's reaction to, and the experiences of, disability should be framed within an approach that combines a spatilised politicial economy with social constructivism.
