Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Copious Hosting A Theology of Access for People with Disabilities
Book SynopsisThe author here aims to acquaint church and synagogue leaders with the history and philosophy of the disability movement and provides resources from scripture and theology for thinking and preaching about disability in a new way.Trade Review"Copious Hosting smartly explores disability and theology in wonderfully contemporary terms. Jennie Weiss Block confesses not to speak for people with disabilities, acknowledging that she herself is not disabled; yet this thoroughly researched study masterfully examines the breadth and depth of the diverse disability community, relates this body of knowledge to sometimes conservative theological tenets, and provides an agenda for change and a rationale to support it."--John D. Kemp, attorney and nationally acclaimed keynote speaker on disability issues"Copious Hosting invites us to view the lives of disabled persons through the lens of dignity. We realize, through Jennie Block's sensitive and informative treatment, that the church sustains a tremendous void when it loses sight of the immeasurable contributions that are lost whenever disabled persons are denied full inclusion in the church. Jennie Block has provided the nondisabled population with a unique opportunity to listen and learn from those who best know the gifts and challenges of living with disabilities."--Rev. Sharon Austin, Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church"Jennie Weiss Block offers not only a primer on the pastoral care of people with disabilities but a systematic theology of access and advocacy that draws on both David Tracy's method of critical correlation and Gustavo Gutièrrez's theology of liberation. Moving from a critique of basic Christian "texts"—Scripture, liturgy, the sacraments she explores the vibrant Trinitarian roots of a new ecclesiology that sees the church as an inclusive ‘model for accessible community."--Nathan D. Mitchell, associate director for research, Notre Dame Center for Pastoral Liturgy"Recommended, especially for libraries serving ministers, and those preparing for ministry." --Augustine J. Curley, Library Journal, March 2002"Ms. Block is well equipped to write this book....I like the book. The writing is easy to understand and it offers both the context and a theology of disability. I rate this books as a 8.5 out of 10." --Thomas St. James O'Connor, ThD, Journal of Relilgion"Religious groups need remedial help on being inclusive of people with disabilities. This book is a good primer." - WATERwheel * Weavings *

Palgrave Macmillan Disabled Childrens Childhood Studies Critical Approaches in a Global Context
Book SynopsisThis collection offers first-hand accounts, research studies and in-depth theoretical explorations of disabled children's childhoods. The accounts oppose the global imposition of problematic views of disability and childhood and instead, offer an open discussion of responsive and ethical research approaches.Trade Review"This powerful book should be essential reading not just for students and researchers ... For professionals who work with disabled children and their families, reading Disabled Children's Childhood Studies may illustrate how a shift in their understandings of, and attitude towards, childhood and disability brings huge changes in children's lives." - Disability & Society "The book is a welcome contribution to disabled children's childhood studies because it is well written and provides insightful views, authentic voices and critical analyses of current theories." - Childhood 'This innovative and challenging book aims to reconstruct the central narrative of disabled children's childhoods. It moves thinking outside of the developmental paradigm and away from a focus on health or service-related models, presenting challenges to the ableist hegemony. In doing so, Disabled Children's Childhood Studies reinstates disabled children as children first.' -Child Care in Practice "The book contains chapters written by a diverse range of authors with varied experiences. Authors include disabled children and their families, educators, and researchers from countries in both the global North and South. Having such a diverse group of authors encourages knowledge sharing and dialogue on more equitable terms, as the book is not dominated by one voice from a particular demographic, be that related to geography, age, or ability. The diversity of voices also makes for an engaging read, and the personal accounts help to concretely contextualize the ideas presented theoretically." - The Canadian Journal of Occupational TherapyTable of ContentsPART I: VOICES FOR CREATIVE THEORY, POLICY AND PRACTICE 1.

Simon & Schuster The Boy Who Loved Too Much
Book SynopsisSynopsis coming soon.......Trade Review"Latson tells [this] story with great sympathy and eloquence, giving voice to the frustration, anguish, and despair a parent feels when their child struggles with a rare disorder. A well-researched, perceptive exploration of a rare genetic disorder seen through the eyes of a mother and son." ---Kirkus Reviews "[Jennifer Latson] skillfully interweaves the science—what we do and don’t know about genetic disorders such as Williams—with a powerful story line. Eli and especially Gayle are beautifully drawn, and their struggles with an unknown future are both unique to their situation and universal to all parents. As the book’s perspective deliberately pans out to include teachers, counselors, family, friends, and, finally, Eli’s entire eighth-grade class, Latson delivers some unforgettable lessons about inclusion and parenthood." ---Publishers Weekly "Latson blends life concerns and hard medical facts in this widely appealing chronicle of a fascinating disorder." ---Booklist

Thomas Nelson Publishers Disabling America: The Unintended Consequences of the Government's Protection of the Handicapped
Book SynopsisDespite what many politicians would like you to believe, the Americans with Disabilities Act is a travesty of government regulation--it actually harms businesses, taxpayers, and, ironically, the people it's supposed to help: disabled Americans. In fact, it is such a disaster that Greg Perry, a man who himself was born disabled, declares in this eye-opening book, "I am so very grateful that I was born long before the ADA was put into law."Feisty and frank, Perry exposes the dangerous consequences of this supposedly compassionate law and shows through personal accounts and sobering statistics that quality of public life for the disabled hasn't been improved since the ADA was signed into law; instead, the liberties of all Americans have been diminished considerably. Citing alarming, outrageous examples of frivolous lawsuits, unnecessary reliance on government intervention, reams of bureaucratic red tape, and stifled economic growth for all, Perry boldly contends that the Americans with Disabilities Act has fostered a culture of dependence, dangerously convincing many people that they can't make it without the government's help. Told with the passion and conviction of a man who has seen firsthand the many ways such intrusive government threatens our freedom, this book finally exposes how the ADA is a legislative disaster that, in effect, disables all Americans.
