Most disabled people don’t want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. Why do abled people frame disability as an individual problem that calls for technological solutions, rather than a social one? In a warm, feisty, opinionated voice and vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. For the future is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It’s time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 218mmItem Length: 145mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 314gAuthor: Ashley ShewGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Technology & EngineeringBook Series: Norton ShortType: Children's Health & NutritionRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
