Summary:

This innovative new publication provides a valuable resource for all those involved in the care and rehabilitation of people with disability. A unique feature of the book is its integration of the concepts and principles of rehabilitation with good clinical practice. It encompasses a wealth of material from a broad range of perspectives including social and educational aspects, good management practice, audit evaluation research and statistics. It deals with physical and intellectual disability and spans the range from childhood disability to disablement and rehabilitation in later life and old age. This broad-based but scientifically informed book recognises that breadth of expertise is needed to adequately assess the needs of people with disability and to establish appropriate strategies for their treatment. The volume will be an essential text for MSc students of rehabilitation studies and for other health care professionals.
