Product Description:
Fujiura, G.T. (2006). Developmental Disabilities. In, G.L. Albrecht (Ed.), Encyclopedia of Disability. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, pp. 394-397. This five-volume Encyclopedia represents the first attempt to bring an authoritative reference resource to the many faces of disability. It provides a fascinating entry into the world of disability where minds are expanded, prejudices shattered, and spirits raised. The Encyclopedia answers the question: What is disability and why is it important in my life? An international editorial board of seventy-four editors from the Americas, Europe, Australia, India, Japan, and China, all experts in their own sub-fields of disability, developed these volumes. The result is a multidisciplinary, cross-cultural, and historically grounded resource tool that guides the reader across fields, theories, debates, and practices.
