</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 13pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Garamond","serif"">this paper we seek to develop an understanding of the human that is driven by a commitment to the politics of disabled people and learners with developmental disabilities. Our
position as family members, friends and allies to people associated with this phenomenon of developmental disability directly influences our ‘philosophical conceptions of cognitive disability’ by virtue of our personal experiences that create an ‘inextricable
relationship between the personal, the value of the political, and the philosophical’ (Kittay, 2009: 606). This has led us to recently develop a theory of dis/humanism which, we contend, simultaneously acknowledges the possibilities offered by disability to
trouble, re-shape and re-fashion the human (crip understandings of personhood) while simultaneously asserting disabled people’s humanity (normative
<span style="COLOR: black">understandings of personhood). In this paper we will sketch out three dis/humanist projects: (i) dis/autonomy, voice and evacuating the human individual; (ii) dis/independence, assemblage and collective humanness and (iii) dis/ability
politics, self-advocacy and the re-siting of the human. We argue that this feeds into the wider project of dis/ability studies (Goodley, 2014).</span><span style="COLOR: #092851"></span></span></p>
