Description
The law says that ‘disability’ means a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term effect on an individual’s ability to carry out normal everyday activities. This book looks at the problems faced by people with physical or learning disabilities, including difficulty accessing transport, access to specialist education, the risk of poverty and dealing with discrimination. It also covers disabled people’s rights under law. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper articles, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
