Reviews

With sections originally written for clinicians, Culture and Disability has expanded the scope work to include valuable information for both service providers as well as researchers. Culture and Disability is an excellent resource for both of its intended audiences. -- Patricia A. Findley Springer Science + Business Media 20060705 This book is a valuable text not only for physical therapists but for all professionals working with individuals who have immigrated from other countries and presents themselves for rehabilitation services. This book is timely and should be an addition to any rehabilitation professionals' library considering the increase in immigration as well as the changes in the patterns of immigration to the United States. It is an appropriate book for physical therapists and provides valuable information to the rehabilitation specialist looking to increase their knowledge of working with immigrants with disabilities and their families. -- Kim Nixon-Cave American Physical Therapy Association 20060807
