5.0 out of 5 stars Really informative. I like the people's stories the best., January 28, 1999

The short chapters gave me just what I needed to use. It was not overly technical. Being in human resources, I felt I wanted facts and tips. This book was full of them.

2.0 out of 5 stars Patronizing title, May 22, 2003

What's next--"Basic Manuals for Friends of the Black"? Wouldn't information about resources, adaptive technology and the ADA be useful for the disabled person too? I can't comment on the content of the book, but I think the title is patronizing and ridiculous.
