Synopsis
Advocating a social barriers model of disability to replace the conventional medical model, the author, a British social scientist, explores the role of new technology in enhancing disabled workers' access to jobs and equal employment rights. He presents interviews, case studies, and quantitative evidence to document the potential, as well as the limitations, of new technology to overcome barriers; and he discusses the role that disabled people themselves should play in the framing, operation, and review of technology access policy.
