Challenges the perception that disabled people are clients of social services. Outlines legislative action taken in other countries to ensure that disabled people have the same rights as others. Argues that in Britain we have failed to attack discriminatory practices because of the entrenched charity model of services. Includes chapters on: education; employment; social security; housing and transport; leisure and the influence of the media; and political life.
