and mental health. The focus is on adults with disabilities, not children. Although much of the information applies to children with disabilities, this book is written using the research and literature about adults with disabilities. The resources provided are adult focused. The ideas for combating violence and abuse are geared toward adults. This book addresses abuse of both men and women with disabilities. However, it is important to know that the majority of research and writing on this issue is about women with disabilities. So far, very little emphasis has been placed on understanding abuse of men with disabilities. This book is also written for all of the people who support or provide services to people with disabilities. When victims need supports and services to increase their independence, disability services professionals play an important part. In short, many professionals, along with family members and friends, need to take action.This ground-breaking volume considers what it means to make claims of disability membership in view of the robust Disability Rights…
movement, the rich areas of academic inquiry into disability, increased philosophical attention to the nature and significance of disability, a vibrant disability culture and disability arts movement, and advances in biomedical science and technology. By focusing on the statement, "We are all disabled", the book explores the following questions: What are the philosophical, political, and practical implications of making this claim? What conceptions of disability underlie it? When, if ever, is this claim justified, and when or why might it be problematic or harmful? What are the implications of claiming "we are all disabled" amidst this global COVID-19 pandemic? These critical reflections on the boundaries of disability include perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, law, and the arts. In exploring the boundaries of disability, and the ways in which these lines are drawn theoretically, legally, medically, socially, and culturally, the authors in this volume challenge particular conceptions of disability, expand the meaning and significance of the term, and consider the implications of claiming disability as an identity. It will be of interest to a broad audience, including disability scholars, advocates and activists, philosophers and historians of disability, moral theorists, clinicians, legal scholars, and artists.Assessing Dyslexia

Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad? is a poignant and honest memoir detailing Jude Morrow&’s journey to parenthood, and how…
his autism profoundly affected that journey, for both better and worse, bringing hope to all who live with autism as well as those who care for someone on the spectrum.I knew that Jupiter has seventy-nine known moons and where the swimming pool was located on the Titanic, yet I didn&’t know how to connect with this beautiful child who called me &“Daddy.&” Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad? is a candid view of life and love through the eyes of an autistic adult—who went from being a nonverbal and aggressive child to a hard working and responsible father to a non-autistic son. Growing up autistic, Jude Morrow faced immense challenges and marginalization, but he was able to successfully—though not without difficulty—finish university and transition into a successful career and eventually parenthood. Those with autism can have difficulty understanding the world around them and can find it hard to find their voice, but in this poignant and honest memoir, Jude defiantly uses his found voice to break down the misconceptions and societal beliefs surrounding autism, bringing hope to all who live with autism as well as those who care for someone on the spectrum. Jude views his autism as a gift to be shared, not a burden to be pitied, and as he demonstrates through his honest recollections and observations, autistic people&’s lives can be every bit as happy and fulfilling as those not on the spectrum.
