"Three of the things that combine to make Advent/Christmas a significant season in my life are-the narrative of Scripture that remind me of the time when God came near, personal stories which spark powerful memories, and music that stirs the soul and warms the heart. Unpacking a Traditional Christmas by Mark Hecht and Janet Lord have combined these elements in an Advent devotional which will help the reader enter into the season with anticipation and awe. I look forward to using it to help my heart to be ready for the celebration of birth of Jesus once again." -Dr. Jeffrey E. Greenway, Lead Pastor of the Reynoldsburg Community Church and President Pro-Tempore of the Allegheny West Conference of the Global Methodist Church

This book provides an international comparative study of the implementation of disability rights law and policy focused on the emerging principles of self-determination and personalisation. It explores how these principles have been enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and how different jurisdictions have implemented them to enable meaningful engagement and participation by persons with disabilities in society. The philosophy of 'active citizenship' underpinning the Convention - that all citizens should (be able to) actively participate in the community - provides the core focal point of this book, which grounds its analysis in exploring how this goal has been imagined and implemented across a range of countries. The case studies examine how different jurisdictions have reformed disability law and policy and reconfigured how support is administered and funded to ensure maximum choice and independence is accorded to people with disabilities.
