This book covers a range of topics on disabilities related to physical status, emotional conditions, and community settings. This useful introductory reference will help you develop culturally sensitive disability services both locally and overseas, and it will promote better understanding of people with disabilities. The book is an examination of services for people with disabilities as they exist in several countries. Until recently, cultural context was used to describe race or ethnicity, but this text recognizes people with disabilities as a worldwide community that is advocating for equality and respect. The book focuses on the need for human and social services that endorse capability and empowerment, promoting the person rather than the disability.
