Social exclusion is an important social problem, especially for people with disabilities. Empirical knowledge on what explains social exclusion in this population will be essential to understand how disability is socially constructed through the formation of social barriers. The purpose of the current study is to empirically examine the effects of mobility on perceived social exclusion among people with disabilities. The authors reviewed theoretical perspectives in order to develop a hypothesis postulating the relationship between mobility and perceived social exclusion among people with disabilities. Then, to empirically test the study hypothesis, the authors examined the survey data and geo-location tracking data from people with physical impairments. Our analysis of the survey data revealed that two mobility variables (the frequency of going-out and the level of discomfort when going out) were significantly associated with perceived social exclusion. Our analysis of geo-location tracking data revealed that travel patterns were significantly associated with perceived social exclusion among people with physical impairments. Implications were discussed.
