SYNOPSIS
In eight articles contributors focus on acculturation and the role of the professional in disability services. They examine such topics as disability cultures and how they relate to the culture around them, attitudes about seniors and people with disabilities in countries such as America, Japan, German, and Hong Kong, and adapting to another culture's norms to deliver services. Specific disabilities include aphasia, deafness, developmental disabilities, and disabilities associated with aging. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
