aspirational, outcomes-focused approach to professional practice.
It forms the first attempt to grapple with the massive legislative
and policy shifts in the Disability field in the last 15 years and
provides an up-to-date, positive approach to professional practice,
based on the social model of disability. Importantly, the book
translates both adult and children's' disability legislation and
policy guidance into positive, creative, enabling practice methods
for professionals in social care, health, employment and
independent living. The book takes a practical approach that
challenges professionals to confront key issues in disability
studies, policy and practice. The key topics covered are: o The
Historical Legacy, Legislation, Policy and Guidance o Community
Care and Beyond o Pivotal Moments in the development of disability
policy o Independent Living, Choices and Rights o Life course
Issues o Valuing Diversity o Key Challenges for an aspiring social
model practitioner This book is an indispensable resource for all
professionals and students working with disabled people.
