Section 13: Critical Disability Studies
From: Critical Social Work Praxis

Commentary on previous chapters and questions for critical thought. The author suggests that a critical disability approach to social work must respect the autonomy and self-determination of disabled people while rejecting ever-expending neoliberal and racist conceptions of practice as individualized, paternalistic and deficit oriented.
