This is a discussion of the consequences of disability within a strictly legal framework.

The authors cover all aspects of disability and the law, including: legal definitions of disability; rights and entitlements to housing, employment, goods, services and social security; the implications of The Children Act 1989 for disabled children; a comparative study of legislation across many countries; and a list of organizations, pressure groups and charities who work on behalf of the disabled.
