The most recent high-profile advocate for Americans with disabilities, actor Christopher Reeve, has highlighted for the public the economic and social costs of disability and the importance of rehabilitation. Enabling America is a major analysis of the field of rehabilitation science and engineering. The book explains how to achieve recognition for this evolving field of study, how to set priorities, and how to improve the organization and administration of the numerous federal research programs in this area.
The committee introduces the "enabling-disability process" model, which enhances the concepts of disability and rehabilitation, and reviews what is known and what research priorities are emerging in the areas of:
- Pathology and impairment, including differences between children and adults.
- Functional limitations—in a person's ability to eat or walk, for example.
- Disability as the interaction between a person's pathologies, impairments, and functional limitations and the surrounding physical and social environments.
This landmark volume will be of special interest to anyone involved in rehabilitation science and engineering: federal policymakers, rehabilitation practitioners and administrators, researchers, and advocates for persons with disabilities.

Store description
Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn’t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them. For more information on what we do, or how you can help, go to books4cause.com…
