SAIF: The Social Model of Disability
Added on Thursday 18 Jun 2009
SAIF's newest publication The Social Model of Disability written by SAIF member Grant Carson was launched on Thursday 18th June with a press release. 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. Please order copies from your local or internet book retailer or from The Stationery Office, ISBN 9780114973490.
