In so doing, I believe that this book offers a way forward towards the development of dialogues across difference within the disability field that will ultimately lead to true partnerships for change.' - From the Foreword by Claire Tregaskis Author InformationAlex Clark, MA, is Senior Lecturer in Social Work and Health and Social Care at the University of Chichester, UK.
