Review
"The idea for the book is an excellent one. This is a comprehensive, important, impressive and much needed volume. It has assembled in a single source much of the information needed by human service practitioners working with people with disability. It also provides the practitioner with a sociopolitical perspective on disability that supports the identification of points of intervention and targets for change outside of the person with disabilities in ways that can significantly improve the quality of their lives."
"Yes, Yes, Yes, I am eager to see this book published!…this book meets many of my needs, in a niche that I have found empty. . . the authors cover many good topics and have the right focus and depth. I am excited about this book."

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fascinating book,
By Robin (CA, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Disability: A Diversity Model Approach in Human Service Practice (Paperback)
This book was co-written by one of my professors in graduate school; he is an amazing instructor and a wonderful writer - as someone with a disability, I appreciate both authors' work on this subject. Worth the price.
