The Development, Conceptualisation and Implementation of Quality in Disability Support Services

Sociální služby pro občany se zdravotním postižením prošly v průběhu času, zejména v posledních dvou desetiletích, podstatnými proměnami. Tato kniha se věnuje některým z těchto trendů, a to především v souvislosti s vazbou mezi životní situací a podporou dostupnou v různých zemích. Zabývá se faktory, které k těmto změnám přispěly. Nedostatek dostupného a vhodného bydlení je sice pro život v běžném prostředí překážkou, ale pro mnoho lidí se zdravotním postižením je to pouze jedna z mnoha částí pomyslné skládačky. Tato kniha se věnuje i dalším aspektům toho, co je zapotřebí k uskutečnění faktické pozitivní změny v životě lidí se zdravotním postižením.
