Description
Social Work: Disabled People and Disabling Environments by Michael Oliver explores the issue of disability as a social problem rather than an individual one. This approach has significant implications for service provision and social work practice, and is examined through various settings and life stages. The authors consider the experiences of people with disabilities in society and the impact of their organisations on service delivery. Contributions from disabled individuals, practitioners, professionals, and academics provide a diverse perspective on this topic. By examining the interplay between disability, society, and service provision, this book offers valuable insights into the complexities of social work practice and its role in supporting people with disabilities.
