TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the individual and social understanding and perception of disability, and propose disability as a social construct, a process of reconstructing identity, transformation of social roles or the lifestyles, and activities undertaken by the disabled in various spheres and contexts.

Therefore, the issue includes articles devoted to such notions as: disability as a social construct, a process of reconstructing identity, transformation of social roles or the lifestyles, and activities undertaken by the disabled in various spheres and contexts.
