This volume in the SAGE Reference Series on Disability explores issues involving disability through the life course, and is one of eight volumes in the cross-disciplinary and issues-based series which examines topics central to the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families.

The concise and engaging presentational styleemphasizes accessibility. Taken individually, each volume sets out the fundamentals of the topic it addresses, accompanied by compiled data and statistics, recommended further readings, a guide to organizations and associations, and other annotated resources, thus providing the ideal introductory platform and gateway for further study. Taken together, the series represents both a survey of major disability issues and a guide to new directions, and trends and contemporary resources in the field as a whole.
