Description
Georgia Vine shares her personal journey as she challenges ableist practice in healthcare and explores how health and social care services can better serve people with disabilities.
Through her experiences, from working in children's services to becoming an occupational therapist and disability activist, Georgia provides insight into the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and the importance of creating a truly inclusive system. She also discusses key issues such as stigma, independence, and transitioning to adulthood.
This book offers practical advice and reflection logs for health and social care workers, enabling them to think critically about their role and apply Georgia's learning in their practice.
