    (University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2009) DePoy, Elizabeth ; Gilson, Stephen

Interrogating historical and current disability policy: (a) reveals the context-based value-foundations and continued dominance of medical explanations of disability inherent in disability-specific policy and (b) maps a direction for policy change that can advance human rights for disabled citizens.
