Handicap: sociale aspekter

Dementia is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. Responding to the global dementia challenge, however, affects more than humans alone. We live in a multi-species world but often think about dementia in mono-species ways. From the lab to the living room, other beings are "on the scene" and our relations with them affect how we understand, experience, and respond to dementia. Drawing on cutting-edge work across the social and biological sciences, this book offers readers the tools to respond to dementia in multi-species ways. By exploring a range of topics, from pathology to personhood, contributors highlight how thinking about dementia as a more-than-human phenomenon may enable new ways of responding to our global dementia challenge.

This book presents research on the perspectives of social care policy makers within the UK's four care systems.

Outlining the key developments of the Disability Hate Crime policy agenda, Seamus Taylor brings together a unique consideration of the theoretical and practical questions at its heart. This book analyses the contributions of activists, politicians, policymakers and criminal justice system practitioners to policy development, and critiques both the under-recognition of disability prejudice fuelled by ableism and the challenge of vulnerability in addressing disability hostility. Concluding that a critically reflective approach on the part of policymakers and practitioners can lead to progress, the author gives clear policy recommendations to address current challenges in the criminal justice system.

"This is an invaluable, nuanced, and deeply needed guide to parenting diverse children as we move, together, toward a future in which all brains and bodies are supported--and belong." --Jessica McCabe, How to ADHD What if parenting were an act of social justice? In this part story-telling, part self-inquiry book, authors and therapists Jaya Ramesh and Priya Saaral situate parenting children of color with neurodivergence within the context of various interlocking systems of oppression including settler colonialism, White supremacy, ableism, and capitalism. These intersections engender isolation and loneliness. Using the voices of parents on the front lines and other experts, Parenting at the Intersections offer an invitation to parents to slow down and reflect on their own parenting journeys. When parents can be given space to listen to their own voices, to connect with their children, and find community with others, they can find the most radical ways to disrupt systems of oppression.

Sometimes it seems only a nurse can bring technical information down to an understanding that an ordinary person can grasp. The Nurse Florence® book series provides high quality medical information that even a child can grasp. By introducing young kids to correct terminology and science concepts at an early age, we can help increase our children's health literacy level as well as help to prepare them for courses and jobs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We need more scientists so I hope that many children will enjoy this book series and consider a job involving science.Introducing Some Medical Words to Kids in Every Book

For næsten alle voksne er sex vigtigt, værdifuldt og en privat sag. At kunne udleve sin seksualitet fremmer sundhed og trivsel. Professionelle i hjemmeplejen, på plejecentre, bosteder, hospitaler, i lægepraksis og socialforvaltninger møder mennesker som ikke kan udleve deres seksualitet på grund af fx sygdom, alder, skader eller sociale forhold. Eller som, måske på grund af skader i hjernen, udlever seksualiteten på måder som kan være ubehagelige for personale og andre i nærheden. Hvordan åbner du som professionel en tryg samtale om noget så privat? Hvordan kan du faktisk hjælpe når samtalen er i gang? Seksuel sundhed og omsorg er en håndbog som giver: Faglig viden om menneskers seksualitet og om forskellige kulturer, værdier og normer for sex. Faglig viden om kommunikation som bryder tabuer og skaber samarbejde. 20 eksempler på brug af denne viden i realistiske dilemmaer for professionelle. Løsninger og metoder til at tage vare på både givere og modtagere af behandling og omsorg

People with disabilities are often excluded from full participation in church communities. Accessibility is a key component of the biblical ministry of reconciliation--but it's not enough. To truly work toward reconciliation, churches must both consider the theological implications of disability and also become places where people with disabilities lead.Disabling Leadership presents a practical theology of disability for thoughtful church leaders and congregants. Written by practitioners and a scholar-pastor who are engaged in ministry together, this book encompasses cutting-edge theological ethics as well as stories of how such commitments are embodied in a real church community. The authors equip readers to explore key themes such as: what it means to be humanhow to understand suffering and healinghow churches can be welcoming and accessible communitieshow to face common challenges and issues in resisting ableismDisabling Leadership moves beyond paternalistic views of disability that seek to extract "inspiration" from another's story without engaging in the difficult work of just and dignifying relationships. When we foster genuinely inclusive leadership teams, the authors contend, our churches will be less likely to treat anyone as a "project" and will better reflect God's love as the body of Christ.

"Ich kann die eine Hirnstruktur nicht richtig darstellen." Mit diesem Satz des untersuchenden Arztes begann unsere Reise mit unserem Balkenkind. Im Ultraschall in der Mitte der Schwangerschaft fiel auf, dass der Balken, das Corpus Callosum, das die rechte und linke Hirnhälfte verbindet, fehlte. Komplett. Nach dem Schock, den Tränen, weiterer detaillierter Diagnostik und der Entscheidung gegen den immer wieder ins Spiel gebrachten Spätabbruch blieb uns nur das Warten. Warten darauf, wie sich die schweren motorischen und kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen, von denen wiederholt die Rede war, äußern würden. Informationen zu dem Phänomen Balkenmangel waren kaum zu bekommen. Die, die es gab, zeichneten meist ein Bild schwerer und mehrfacher Behinderungen. Doch unser Kind hat einen isolierten Balkenmangel ohne genetische Defekte. Dazu gab es so gut wie keine Informationen. Nachdem wir nun die ersten gut zehn Jahre mit unserem Balkenkind verbringen durften und es inzwischen eine weiterführende Schule besucht, war die Zeit gekommen, den ersten Bericht über unser gemeinsames Abenteuer fortzuführen. Denn wie sagte unser Pränataldiagnostiker so unumwunden:"Was heißt normal? Heißt normal, dass es einen Kindergarten besuchen kann?"Lassen Sie sich überraschen...

Technologies designed to 'assist' users with and without disabilities, such as computer interfaces, act as mediators of barriers in Digital Cultures. At the same time, these technologies, as 'assistive media', emerge into a pre-existing technological environment and add an additional level of mediation to human-machine interaction. Drawing on examples rooted in a diverse range of fields - from engineering to medical research to gaming culture - the contributors to this volume each provide a unique perspective on assistance, situated at the intersection of media studies and disability studies.

'A masterful intervention that is particularly pertinent for an age of austerity, pandemic, and rising living costs' Robert Chapman, author of Empire of Normality'A brilliant and much-needed contribution to current debates' Ioana Cerasella Chis, University of Birmingham'A comprehensive analysis which also intelligently looks at how disability can fit into the modern world' Joshua Hepple, activist, writer and disability equality trainerThe rise of the extreme right globally, the crisis of capitalism and the withdrawal of all but the most punitive arms of the state are having a disastrous impact on disabled people's lives. Bob Williams-Findlay offers an account of the transformative potential of disability praxis and how it relates to disabled politics and activism. He addresses different sites of struggle, showing how disabled people have advanced radical theory into the implementation of policies.Examining the growth of the global Disabled People's Movement during the 1960s, Williams-Findlay shows how a new social discourse emerged that shifted the focus away from seeing disability as restrictions on an individual's body, towards understanding the impact of restrictions created by capitalist relations. He shines light on the contested definitions of disability, asking us to reconsider how different socio-political contexts produce varied understandings of social oppression and how we can play a role in transforming definitions and societies.Bob Williams-Findlay is the founder of Birmingham Disability Rights Group and the former Chair of the national organisation BCODP. He has written in various publications on the topic of disability politics.

This timely book explores the spatial and social injustices within our streets, malls, schools, and public institutions. Taken-for-granted acts like going for a walk, seeing an exhibition with a friend, and going to school are, for people with disabilities, conditional or precluded acts due to exclusion by design.

This book is a critical disability studies examination of the lived experience of chronic pain, engaging with and making a significant contribution to crip theory and the concept of 'crip time'.
