From Good Will to Civil Rights: Transforming Federal Disability Policy (Health, Society, and Policy)

By Richard K. Scotch

Book Overview

Now that curb cuts, braille elevator buttons, and closed-captioned television are commonplace, many people assume that disabled people are now full participants in American society. This book tells a rather different story. It tells how America's disabled mobilized to effect sweeping changes in public policy, not once but twice, and it suggests that the struggle is not yet over.
