"The book provokes, inspires and engrosses readers whose common goal is social justice and empowerment of people with disabilities."
Professor Ajit K Dalal, Department of Psychology, University of Allahabad, India. "I found the book extremely useful and will be recommending it to academic colleagues and students as well as to colleagues in NGOs." Peter Grimes, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Education, Canterbury Christchurch University, UK. Disability and Inclusive Development is a call to action, to change international policy and practice towards real inclusion and participation of disabled people in social, economic, community and political life. The Millennium Development Goals will fail if development is not inclusive of all. If international development programmes do not include disabled people, 98% of disabled children will remain without school education and 80% of disabled people in developing countries will remain without a sustainable means of livelihood. |
The four chapters of the book set out to inform, challenge and provide practical solutions. Community Based Services examines person-centred services that empower and improve the quality of life in the community. Inclusive Education calls for delivery of quality and equitable education and explores policy and practice. Economic Empowerment proposes an integrated approach to improving the livelihood opportunities of disabled people. Conflict Recovery provides insight into the vulnerabilities of disabled people in post conflict situations and explores the links between poverty, conflict and disaster and disability. This publication is of relevance to policymakers, academicians and practitioners in international development and disability. | ||
