Download or read book Disability, Equality, and Human Rights written by Alison Harris and published by Oxfam Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book's basic premise is that disabled people themselves know best what their needs are and that they should be involved in the planning and delivery of relief and development initiatives. The most effective support that agencies can offer is to empower them to claim their basic human rights and their civil and legal rights. The text is based on the experience of Oxfam staff working before, during and after the crisis in Kosovo; but its principles and practical training materials can be applied far more widely. Case studies from Africa and Asia arising from the work of Action and Disability and Development (ADD) show how the values of equality, empowerment and autonomy that are promoted by the social model of disability are universal in their relevance. It suggests practical materials particularly useful to trainers working in geographically isolated areas without access to sophisticated equipment. Most activities and exercises can be adapted for use in groups of people with a wide range of impairments and educational levels.

This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (a) Design and construction. (1) Each facility or part of a facility constructed by, on behalf of, or for the use of a public entity shall be designed and constructed in such manner that the facility or part of the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if the construction was commenced after January 26, 1992. (2) Exception for structural impracticability. (i) Full compliance with the requirements of this section is not required where a public entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impracticable to meet the requirements. Full compliance will be considered structurally impracticable only in those rare circumstances when the unique characteristics of terrain prevent the incorporation of accessibility features. (ii) If full compliance with this section would be structurally impracticable, compliance with this section is required to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. In that case, any portion of the facility that can be made accessible shall be made accessible to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. (iii) If providing accessibility in conformance with this section to individuals with certain disabilities (e.g., those who use wheelchairs) would be structurally impracticable, accessibility shall nonetheless be ensured to persons with other types of disabilities, (e.g., those who use crutches or who have sight, hearing, or mental impairments) in accordance with this section.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The onslaught of neoliberalism, austerity measures and cuts, impact of climate change, protracted conflicts and ongoing refugee crisis, rise of far right and populist movements have all negatively impacted on disability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Junior Library Guild Selection February 2022 The true story of the people who helped make every public school a more inclusive place. There was a time in the United States when millions of children with disabilities weren't allowed to go to public school. But in 1971, seven kids and their families wanted to do something about it. They knew that every child had a right to an equal education, so they went to court to fight for that right. The case Mills v. Board of Education of the District of Columbia led to laws ensuring children with disabilities would receive a free, appropriate public education. Told in the voice of Janine Leffler, one of the millions of kids who went to school because of these laws, this book shares the true story of this landmark case.

Download or read book People with Disabilities Explain it All for You written by Mary Johnson and published by Louisville [Ky] : Advocado Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 26 hundreds of thousands of businesses open to the public were for the first time required by a sweeping new federal law to take steps to make their places accessible to people with disabilities. Most of these "places of public accommodation," as the Americans with Disabilities Act calls them, were not even aware of the new law. Now many are grappling to learn how to comply with the new law, as people who are disabled start demanding to be served in the nation's restaurants, stores, shops & service establishments. In PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES EXPLAIN IT ALL FOR YOU (The Advocado Press, Box 145, Louisville, KY 40201, $15.95), the editors of the acclaimed disability rights movement magazine, The Disability Rag, which The Wall Street Journal called "one of the most important publications of the disability rights movement," have given operators of public accommodations the first plain-speaking, how-to book on meeting the law's public accommodations requirements, explaining to readers how to spend much less money in the process than is often thought necessary. No other handbook available today lists specific costs for common access requirements. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES EXPLAIN IT ALL FOR YOU provides an exhaustive Appendix of national & local sources of information & equipment available nowhere else. This book is indispensable for any public accommodations operator who needs to know how to comply with the law -- & how to do it on a budget. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES EXPLAIN IT ALL FOR YOU provides tips & advice from the nation's top disability rights activists & those who worked to get the law passed. It also explains to businesses how they can make the law's requirements into an opportunity for increasing profits. Publisher: The Avacado Press, 1962 Roanoke, Louisville, KY 40205.
