Living with Disability: 197 (Issues Series) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

The law says that 'disability' means a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term effect on an individual's ability to carry out normal everyday activities. This book looks at the problems faced by people with physical or learning disabilities, including difficulty accessing transport, access to specialist education, the risk of poverty and the stigma and discrimination some people still hold towards those with disabilities. It also covers disabled people's rights under law.
