E-grāmata: Disabling Barriers - Enabling Environments

Disability scholars and activists present a reader for a disability studies course at the graduate or undergraduate level. The 42 essays cover perspectives on disability and impairment, in our own image, controlling lifestyles, in charge of support and help, and looking to the future for disabled people. Among the topics are developing an affirmative model of disability and impairment, psycho-emotional disablism and internalized oppression, exploring the social model of disability, barriers to inclusion experienced by visually impaired people, and designing inclusive environments and the significance of universal design.
