Independence Matters

by Michelle Denton

Independence is a fundamental human desire, and for individuals with disabilities, it is a pursuit that embodies resilience, determination, and unwavering strength. This volume challenges stereotypes and preconceived notions about disability. Through vivid, full-color photographs and intriguing fact boxes, readers learn why fostering independence in disabled individuals is not only important on an individual level, but also a vital step toward creating a more inclusive, compassionate society. Students recognize that true progress is measured by the extent to which we empower and support individuals to live life on their own terms.
