The most recent high-profile advocate for Americans with
disabilities, actor Christopher Reeve, has highlighted for the
public the economic and social costs of disability and the
importance of rehabilitation. Enabling America is a major analysis
of the field of rehabilitation science and engineering. The book
explains how to achieve recognition for this evolving field of
study, how to set priorities, and how to improve the organization
and administration of the numerous federal research programs in
this area. The committee introduces the "enabling-disability
process" model, which enhances the concepts of disability and
rehabilitation, and reviews what is known and what research
priorities are emerging in the areas of: Pathology and impairment,
including differences between children and adults. Functional
limitations?in a person's ability to eat or walk, for example.
Disability as the interaction between a person's pathologies,
impairments, and functional limitations and the surrounding
physical and social environments. This landmark volume will be of
special interest to anyone involved in rehabilitation science and
engineering: federal policymakers, rehabilitation practitioners and
administrators, researchers, and advocates for persons with
disabilities. Table of Contents FRONT MATTER EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1
