A wide variety of medical conditions that qualify as disabilities
under the Americans with Disabilities Act are explained in
accurate, non-medical terminology. The book clearly details how the
condition is acquired, what happens in the body to create the
disability, how the person may look or act, what social
accommodations are necessary and helpful, as well as guidelines for
adapting the environment. This book's unique approach to
disabilities will make anyone more comfortable when interfacing
with a person who has a disability. People with disabilities are
gaining access to jobs, education, recreation, and other facets of
everyday life that able-bodied people take for granted. Legally the
barriers are down, but psychologically and sociologically, the
barriers are still in place. With this book, knowledge replaces
uncertainty. Designed as an easy reference book, each medical
condition is treated independently so the reader only needs to
spend a few minutes to gain insight on a particular condition. Also
included are a background chapter on anatomy, accommodating
disabilities, and interrelating with someone who has a disability.
This unique book provides a concise yet comprehensive examination,
in non-medical terms, of a wide range of physical disabilities. The
book emphasizes the source of the condition, the effects on a
person's lifestyle, physical appearance, prospects for recovery or
remission, psychological and social accommodation as well as
environmental accommodations. It is an excellent reference for
anyone who may come in contact with a person who has a physical
disability, including human resource personnel, teachers,
therapists, and people who deal with the general public.
