Description

Disability: The Basics provides an engaging introduction to disability, exploring its historical, social, environmental, economic and legal factors. The book examines key topics such as the diversity of the disability experience, disability rights and advocacy, and the daily realities of living with an impairment or illness. It delves into the ways in which disabled people have been treated throughout history and in different parts of the world, highlighting the gaps and barriers that remain in social responses to disability. This book aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of disabled people and shed light on areas where improvement is needed. Suitable for laypeople, students of disability studies, or those taking a disability module as part of a wider course, Disability: The Basics offers valuable insights into this important topic.
