Description : |
This handbook developed by Jane Maxwell, Julia Watts Belsser and Darlena David, will help women with disabilities overcome the social stigma of disability and inadequate care which are greater barriers to health than the disabilities themselves. This groundbreaking handbook was developed with the help and experience of women with disabilities in 42 countries - women whose disabilities include blindness, deafness, amputations, paralysis, learning difficulties, small stature, epilepsy, arthritis, and cerebral palsy. The book offers useful advice for women, as well as resources for health professionals, caregivers for women with disabilities and trainers working with disability groups. |
