Disability representation in Star Trek is a rich topic, and Ilana S. Lehmann has compiled a slew of examples for us to analyze and learn from. All You Need to Know About Disability is on Star Trek starts off with a clear breakdown of different models of viewing disability in our history, including the medical, social, moral and biopsychosocial models - with Star Trek examples to illustrate. In subsequent chapters she explores different types of physical, mental and cognitive disabilities, as well as overlapping issues like aging, body image/fat stigma, and quality of life/death.

As someone who's spent a lot of time thinking, talking and writing about disability representation in particular episodes, I really appreciated Lehmann's range of examples, including many I'd never thought of being linked to disability. But I found there was too much dialogue transcribed from the show on balance, and I would've appreciated a more in-depth analysis of the most prominent disability storylines in Trek, such as "Melora" and "Statistical Probabilities." Overall I think the book is a really useful resource for Trekkies who want to learn about disability but aren't already familiar with basic disability concepts. It's also a good resource if you're looking for a comprehensive collection of Trek moments that connect to disability and related issues.
