Beskrivelse
Summary:This volume is informed by authors with lived experience of disability as well as genuine disability allies who hold a common passion towards making positive and practical differences in the lives of people with disability across Australia and further afield. It provides you with an opportunity to read and learn about lived experiences of disability together with their practical implications for future disability research and policy directions. Policy issue areas addressed in this book are wide-ranging and include those of codesign shortfalls, restrictive practices, linguistic and information deprivation, challenges confronting older people with dual sensory impairment, healthcare shortfalls in rural settings and the need for an increase in codesigned research in higher education and more broadly in policy design. Included in the volume are intriguing and timely research topics which hold strong potential to inform evidence-based disability policy in Australia as well as other places.
