This academic volume builds on the foundational work of the Disability Press by exploring how the "social model" of disability is applied in real-world policy and professional settings. The Social Model: The book argues that disability is not an individual's medical "problem," but rather the result of societal barriers like inaccessible transport, heavy doors, and negative attitudes. Policy Focus: It examines how these theories translate into actual practice, looking at institutional change, professional roles, and the ongoing struggle for disabled people's rights. Target Audience: Like other titles from this publisher, it is a key text for students and researchers in Disability Studies, Social Policy, and Sociology.
