ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I argue that introducing a disability-inclusive development (DID) approach without decolonising it risks re-establishing the mere exclusionary and discriminatory practices that it aims to dismantle. First, I address DID and discuss a postcolonial perspective applied to disability and development. Second, I select two case studies to expose the risks of categorically arguing for inclusion without critically analysing past and current colonialist projects. This chapter concludes that a DID needs to be built by and from the experiences of persons with disabilities and their organisations where the aid is being channelled.
