This chapter, conceptually situated at the intersection of Disability Studies and Social Policy Studies, explores CBID through a Disability Studies lens. The chapter argues that CBID provides an opportunity for the imagining of inclusive communities and can support disabled people’s accessible participation in the design, development, and delivery of community initiatives for social change. Nevertheless, risks surrounding CBID remain; most notably through the dangers of overreliance on rehabilitative and medicalisation procedures to address disabled people’s unnecessary restrictions, as well as a channelling of asset-based approaches within CBID strategies. To mitigate the risks, the chapter argues for the conditions necessary to root a CBID approach in the ideas and practices of disabled people’s participation, produced through local knowledge, mobilisation, and activity. The originality and significance of these arguments is in repositioning CBID as an approach that can disrupt and resist current patterns of discrimination, marginalisation, and exclusion throughout the social world. It can disrupt a deficit understanding of disabled people’s existence. Additionally, a CBID approach entrenched in the ideas and practices of disabled people’s communities can produce alternative ways of organising communities, reconfigured to protect disabled people’s fundamental freedoms and promote valued, and respected, participation. This brings into focus a reimagining of what arrangements, and initiatives, are necessary within localised contexts to support disabled people to flourish in their communities. Understanding CBID through a Disability Studies lens draws attention to the claims and demands of disabled activists, their social movements, and scholars who critique disabled people’s social position, in the expectation of realising fair, just, and accessible communities.
