Diversity in the workplace: Disabilities

The book responds to a critical need for highly qualified personnel who will become exemplary professionals in transition and employment settings because of their advanced knowledge, skills, and experiences in working with students and adults with varying disabilities.

A powerful and comprehensive look at disability discrimination and disability hate crimes, offering recommendations for a cross-government response to ensure disabled people are seen and treated as equal citizens.

Corrigan argues that effective strategies require leadership by those with lived experience, as their recovery stories replace ideas of incompetence and dangerousness with ones of hope and empowerment. As an experienced clinical researcher, as an advocate, and as a person who has struggled with such prejudices, Corrigan challenges readers to carefully examine anti-stigma programs and reckon with their true effects.
