Disability studies has become a legitimate area of academic study.
It is multi-disciplinary in its critique of the oppressions that
have historically "dumped" disabled people on the margins of
society. This fully revised and updated edition not only explains
disability studies as an academic field of inquiry, it also
explores many of the current issues affecting the lives and
circumstances of disabled people.
The book explores and analyzes "quality of life" factors in the
lives of disabled people in relation to the professional
development of undergraduates and examines the emergence of
"rights" for disabled people in the local area, the UK and abroad.
The author indicates the strengths and weaknesses of organizations
"of" and "for" disabled people, and provides examples of individual
and institutional oppressions against disabled people and "success
stories," exploring how these have been overcome in education and
employment. The book suggests how disabled and non-disabled people
can collaborate in the development of inclusive communities and
neighborhoods.
The text is suitable for students taking courses in the areas of
health, social care and allied services at NVQ, BTEC, Degree and
PGCE level. The author encourages students to raise their own
questions and develop their own forms of inquiry.
