Race, Culture and Disability: Rehabilitation Science and Practiceselected product title

Race, Culture and Disability: Rehabilitation Science and Practice is a guide to understanding the research and practical issues related to race, culture and disability in rehabilitation services. Due to an increase in ethnically diverse individuals with disabilities, this text is an extremely timely and relevant contribution for researchers, practitioners, and students. 

Race, Culture, and Disability brings together the work of leading researchers to explore issues of race, culture, and disability in rehabilitation science and practice. This unique book provides researchers and evidence-based practitioners with scientific resources to answer practical and knowledge-based questions and resolve natural tensions.

Topics such as how to make disability determinations with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and non-English language populations and how to address issues of cultural competence and cultural mistrust in service provision are clearly presented. The book is enriched by the perspectives of the scientists who conduct research, the people of color with disabilities who live in this intersection, the practitioners who work with diverse populations, and the students and recent graduates who have learned and want to learn more about this research area.
