This book takes a nonpathological approach to disability as part of diversity rather than as a deficiency, offering 34 activities to help instructors working with this community. The activities are designed to be used in or out of the classroom, in independent or group dynamics, and can be modified for individual need.

Disability-Affirmative Therapy (D-AT) helps clinicians put the disability of a client into proper focus, without making one of the usual mistakes associated with cross-cultural therapy: overinflating the role of the disability, or underestimating its profound effects. D-AT provides a template for evaluation - nine areas to be discussed with the client - that allows understanding of the client's lifetime experiences with disability.
