Summary "People with disabilities (PWDS) have the same aspirations for their lives as anyone else. The difference is that PWDS don't have the same access to education, employment, housing, transportation and healthcare to achieve their goals. In The Disability Experience you'll meet people with different kinds of disabilities and begin to understand the ways PWDS have been ignored and marginalized throughout history. The book explores disability culture and politics, celebrates the achievements of PWDS and shares their powerful stories of fighting for change." -- inside cover.
