Editorial Reviews
Review
"...researched like and referenced like a text book, but written in lay terms to hold the interest of both parents and professionals.."
–Exceptional Parent, May 2001
"...well grounded and well researched...a remarkably thorough treatment of a timely and significant topic. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and practitioners."
–Choice
"Best practice is accomplished when values drive perspectives and attitudes. The book from cover to cover emphasizes the value, to "confront bigotry in all its ism forms." Everyone who reads the book will realize that, whatever differences may appear, the differences are not in kind, but only in degree, This realization is enough for the book to have achieved its goal.."
–Sheila Saravanabhavan, Virginia State University Disability Studies Quarterly, Winter 2001
Book Description
In Everybody Belongs, Dr. Arthur Shapiro discusses how negative myths and stereotypes create ingrained prejudices toward people with disabilities. This much-needed text stresses the importance of changing handicapist attitudes and developing a rationale for fostering positive ones. Popular beliefs, myths, and stereotypes are dispelled. Everybody Belongs balances theory with the practical application of ways to change negative prejudices in the classroom.
