The difference is that PWDs dont have the same access to education, employment, housing, transportation and healthcare in order to achieve their goals. In The Disability Experience youll meet people with different kinds of disabilities, and youll begin to understand the ways PWDs have been ignored, reviled and marginalized throughout history. The book also celebrates the triumphs and achievements of PWDs and shares the powerful stories of those who have fought for change." -- Amazon.com."This nonfiction book for teens provides a history of disability, describes types of disabilities and examines the challenges faced by people living with disabilities."--.
