Allies and Obstacles

"Allies and Obstacles" examines the complex and often tense relationship between parents of children with disabilities and disability rights activism, using a social movement perspective to analyze advocacy efforts across various arenas such as education and deinstitutionalization. Through organizational and individual case studies focused on diverse disabilities, the authors explore the development of activism, points of alliance, and sources of contention, offering new insights into disability activism, policy, and family dynamics.
