Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'This text takes a very comprehensive look at the relationship between legal "rights" and disability, and the effects of the law and the legal process on people with disabilities. As well as taking into account the role of people with disabilities themselves, rather than just the professionals and third parties involved in securing justice for disabled people, the various chapters in the book address a variety of key themes. These include: "working in partnership" with disabled people, and the interventions care and other agencies engage in, changing attitudes towards disability; specific areas of "rights" to community care, housing, employment, education, and special services in response to needs; mental health law; and the research into law, practice, and reform programmes.' -Welfare Benefits
