Making a Life. Opportunity, Not Disability
Description
People with disabilities are often regarded only in terms of what they can't do, not what they can. This program looks at a variety of individuals with different disabilities who not only participate in their work and community but thrive because they were given an opportunity. Numerous personal examples show the practical as well as psychological importance of employment. Social workers, special education teachers, employers, and those challenged by ailment or accident discuss society's conventionalized perceptions and how people with disabilities, when given the chance, rise up to their maximum potential.
