Description
Understanding Disability From Theory to Practice by Michael Oliver This absorbing text combines theory, policy, historical background and personal experience to give readers a rich understanding of the key issues raised by disability. In a clear and lively narrative style, the author explores the practical and political challenges that disablement presents, as well as theoretical understandings of disability, disability law and the realities of policy implementation. The book delves into contentious debates within the disability movement, including discussions on welfare, rehabilitation, special education and normalization. With its expansive coverage, it is a valuable resource for students of social work, nursing, health and applied social science studying modules in disability studies. Written by Michael Oliver, a leading writer and respected activist, this new edition includes fresh stories from his experience and sharp debate about policy development over the last decade and a half.
