In Our Shoes: Practical Strategies For Disability Inclusion

Print or eBook Version

This “one-of-a-kind” guide to accommodating people with disabilities provides a series of 40 problematic scenarios & possible solutions, depicted in a broad variety of settings that illustrate the realities and real-life experiences people with disabilities face every day. The book includes an index for looking up situation-specific information on an as-needed basis.

Learn from the Authors… They Know Disabilities! Trish Robichaud, along with co-authors, Carol Jaquith, Peg Ball and Claire Theriot Mestepey, bring their own personal experiences living with disability to this powerful and unique educational book.

This right-on-point, disability inclusion resource will increase your confidence around handling disability-related issues as intuitively as responding to any other situation.

Each scenario is 4 parts: (1) A short story about a person encountering a barrier, (2) A couple of questions for the reader to consider to raise awareness, (3) A proposed solution to removing the barrier, and (4) A brief description of the disability or condition that the person in the story has.

It will ease any anxiety you may have over handling ambiguous situations that involve people with disabilities.
