Literature offers an opportunity to share in the lived experiences of others, experiences that as readers we may otherwise never personally encounter. Disability in our society is a reality, yet one that has not been fully embraced---not unlike issues with race, gender, age, or sexual orientation. Individuals begin to encounter many of these matters early in life, but as impressionable adolescents, a time when they begin to understand and navigate the world, often times they meet these experiences in books. Since books are an especially important part of how thoughts and attitudes are shaped, this paper seeks to analyze a selection of texts geared towards young readers to understand whether the view of disability has remained static since the 1950s and to understand how disability is being used in more current texts for young adult readers. Stoner & Spaz by Ron Koertge, Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick and Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes will be the representative artifacts for this analysis. How these texts respond to important questions about language, representations of disability, the lived experiences of people with disabilities, and the power differentials which exist will be examined.
