Product Description:

The ecological model of disability encourages us to consider the environment as a contributing factor to disability. By environment, we mean the communities in which we live. Despite the rhetoric of the new paradigm of disability, however, most disability and rehabilitation researchers and providers still use individual approaches to achieve these new community-level outcomes. Cornelia Flora of Iowa State University argues that this creates a mismatch of problem-solving methods, creating a gap that needs to be filled.
