This is the only book addressing disability from an interdisciplinary perspective that offers cross-disability and intersectionality coverage, and puts a special emphasis on many unique populations. Comprehensive and reader-friendly, it provides current, evidence-based knowledge on the key principles and practice of disability including advocacy, the disability rights movement, disability legislation, public policy, and law. It also addresses the roles and functions of disability services, from ethics in service delivery to credentialing, career paths, cultural competency, poverty, infectious diseases, and family and lifespan perspectives.
