Do your students, friends, colleagues, or coworkers have difficulty
understanding or demonstrating empathy toward individuals with
disabilities? This program is a therapist's opportunity to
facilitate empathy development toward individuals with disabilities
through role play and group discussion. Disability 4 A Day is a
program that gives participants, 1st grade thru college aged
students and adults, the opportunity to "walk in someone else's
shoes" by experiencing a "physical disability" for a full school or
work day. This edition includes all required forms and step-by-step
instructions that Speech/Language Pathologists, Occupational
Therapists and Physical Therapists will need to implement the
program in a school, clinical or community setting. Many students,
school staff and community members have never had the opportunity
to meet or interact with an individual with a disability in order
to understand their struggles and strengths. This program will give
the participant the opportunity to "step in the shoes" of someone
who has physical challenges that affect their daily activities and
routines. Ultimately, helping to focus on ability not disability
Although typically separated, philosophy and New Testament theology
are mutually beneficial for the understanding of the distinctive
wisdom that guides Christian thought and life. The Wisdom of the
Christian Faith fills a major gap in the literature on the
philosophy of religion. It is the first book on the philosophy of
religion to be authored entirely by philosophers while directly
engaging themes of wisdom in the Christian tradition. The book
consists of all new essays, with contributions from John
Cottingham, Paul Gooch, Gordon Graham, John Hare, Michael T.
McFall, Paul K. Moser, Andrew Pinsent, Robert Roberts, Charles
Taliaferro, William Wainwright, Jerry Walls, Sylvia Walsh, Paul
Weithman and Merold Westphal.

In Licensing Parents, Michael McFall argues that political
structures, economics, education, racism, and sexism are secondary
in importance to the inequality caused by families, and that the
family plays the primary role in a child's acquisition of a sense
of justice. He demonstrates that examination of the family is
necessary in political philosophy and that informal structures
(families) and considerations (character formation) must be taken
seriously. McFall advocates a threshold that should be accepted by
all political philosophers: children should not be severely abused
or neglected because child maltreatment often causes deep and
irreparable individual and societal harm. The implications of this
threshold are revolutionary, but this is not recognized fully
because no philosophical book has systematically considered the
ethical or political ramifications of child maltreatment. By
exposing a tension between the rights of children and adults,
McFall reveals pervasive ageism; parental rights usually trump
children's rights, and this is often justified because children are
not fully autonomous. Yet parental rights should not always trump
children's rights. Ethics and political philosophy are not only
about rights, but also about duties_especially when considering
potential parents who are unable or unwilling to provide minimally
decent nurturance. While contemporary political philosophy focuses
on adult rights, McFall examines systems whereby the interests and
rights of children and parents are better balanced. This entails
exploring when parental rights are defeasible and defending the
ethics of licensing parents, whereby some people are precluded from
rearing children. He argues that, if a sense of justice is largely
developed in childhood, parents directly influence the character of
future generations of adults in political society. A completely
stable and well-ordered society needs stable and psychologically
healthy citizens in addition to just laws, and McFall demonstrates
how parental love and healthy families can help achieve this.
