Produktbeschreibung

Argues that there are crucial missing links between US federal disability policies and youth's lives. The argument is based on a thorough examination of federal disability policy and interviews with young people with disabilities, their parents, and rehabilitation professionals. Attention is given to the diversity of expectations, the resources available, and the impact of federal policy and public and private attitudes on their transition to adulthood.
