"People with disabilities are among the most hidden and neglected of all displaced people, excluded from or unable to access most aid programs because of physical and social barriers or because of negative attitudes and biases" (womensrefugeecommission.org 2014). The Social Model of Disability demonstrates that for the lived-experience of any disability to be understood, its social context must be acknowledged (Shakespeare, 1997). Unfortunately, in the case of refugees and asylum seekers (RAS) with disabilities, most research fails to appreciate intersectionality between these two concepts (Stienstra, 2002). The need for intersectional studies is made more urgent when considering what the experience of disabled individuals is influenced by factors such as 'race', religion, ethnic status and experience of war - all identified as key experiences within the RAS population (Quinn, 2013). This study hopes to answer calls from bodies such as the Refugee Support / Metropolitan Support Trust (MST) to identify the intersections between RAS with disabilities (Ward, Amas and Lagnado, 2008).Based on previous research with RAS and LD groups, agendas for the research put forward by co-researchers may include the realities and struggles negotiating barriers to accessing support. It will be useful to explore such barriers in further details, such as the objects of knowledge such as experiences of disability and displacemet interact by all group members. This will provide a rich account of the issues that matter to the group. By providing accounts from members of this group, the research is hoped to lead service providers and communities towards evidence informed policy making.

“在所有流离失所者中，残疾人是最被隐藏和忽视的群体，由于身体和社会障碍，或者由于负面态度和偏见，他们被排除在大多数援助项目之外或无法获得援助。”（womensrefugees ecommission.org 2014）。残疾的社会模型表明，要理解任何残疾的生活经验，必须承认其社会背景（莎士比亚，1997）。不幸的是，在残疾难民和寻求庇护者（RAS）的情况下，大多数研究未能认识到这两个概念之间的交叉性（Stienstra, 2002）。当考虑到残疾人的经历受到诸如“种族”、宗教、民族地位和战争经历等因素的影响时，对交叉研究的需求变得更加迫切——这些因素都被认为是RAS人群的关键经历（Quinn, 2013）。本研究希望回应来自难民支持/大都会支持信托（MST）等机构的呼吁，以确定残疾人RAS之间的交集（Ward， Amas和Lagnado， 2008）。根据先前与RAS和LD小组的研究，共同研究人员提出的研究议程可能包括现实和谈判获得支持障碍的斗争。更详细地探讨这些障碍将是有用的，例如所有群体成员相互作用的知识对象，如残疾和流离失所的经历。这将提供对该集团重要问题的丰富说明。通过提供这一群体成员的描述，该研究希望能引导服务提供者和社区朝着证据知情的政策制定方向发展。
