Challenges to the Human Rights of People with Intellectual Disabilities is written by Dr. Frances Owen, Associate Professor in the Department of Child and Youth Studies at Brock University in Ontario. The book, aimed at advocates, lawyers, policy-makers and students but full of useful information for the general public, tackles the legal framework that allows people with disabilities to exercise their basic Human Rights in their everyday lives. The first portion of the book describes the history of law concerning and common attitudes towards people with disabilities, while the second details modern-day policies on specific rights (medical and legal rights, right to education, evidence-based treatment etc.)Interested in this book?
