Excellent

I read this book for a course taught by Leonard Cassuto at Fordham University several years ago and I was really taken in by each perspective presented. As the child of two parents with disabilities, I highly recommend it.

Great Works on Disability Experience

a wonderful mix of perspectives and voices that give the disabled a multi-dimensional representation.
