The author indicates the strengths and weaknesses of organizations \"of\" and \"for\" disabled people, and provides examples of individual and institutional oppressions against disabled people and \"success stories,\" exploring how these have been overcome in education and employment. The book suggests how disabled and non-disabled people can collaborate in the development of inclusive communities and neighborhoods. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe text is suitable for students taking courses in the areas of health, social care and allied services at NVQ, BTEC, Degree and PGCE level.
