The Social Model of Disability

The Social Model of Disability by SAIF member Grant Carson is SAIF's latest publication and was launched on 18th June 2009. The 32 page booklet is aimed at policy and decision makers across all sectors. It explains the Social Model and its importance.

SAIF is clear that if society adopted and resourced the Social rather than the Medical Model, not only would accessible information provision become commonplace, but the lives of disabled people would be transformed and a huge step would be taken in the fight against discrimination.

For the first time there is a cover price on a SAIF publication of £2. You can order copies from your local or internet book retailer or from The Stationery Office. ISBN 9780114973490. You can download it from the links below free of charge.
