Disability, Augmentative Communication, and the American Dream

A Qualitative Inquiry

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Disability, Augmentative Communication, and the American Dream the authors use a qualitative "mixed methods" study framed by analytical insights from disability studies to show how disability is not just an individual experience but a social phenomenon. The book focuses on the life story of Jon Feucht, a man who was born with a form of cerebral palsy that left him impaired in his lower and upper body and unable to speak without the use of an assistive communication device. He eventually overcame all odds and achieved academic success, and is currently a doctoral candidate in education leadership and policy.
