Kuklys examines how Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen’s approach to welfare measurement can be put in practice for poverty and inequality measurement in affluent societies such as the UK. Sen argues that an individual’s welfare should not be measured in terms of her income, but in terms what she can actually do or be, her capabilities. In Chapters 1 and 2, Kuklys describes the capability approach from a standard welfare economic point of view and provides a comprehensive literature review of the empirical applications in this area of research. In the remaining chapters, novel econometric techniques are employed to operationalise the concepts of functionings and capability to investigate inequality and poverty in terms of capability in the UK. Kuklys finds that capability measurement is always a useful complement to traditional monetary analysis, and particularly so in the case of capability-deprived disabled individuals.

Equal access to services and public places is now required by law in many countries. In the case of the visually impaired, it is often the use of assistive technology that facilitates their full participation in many societal activities ranging from meetings and entertainment to the more personal activities of reading books or making music. In this volume, the engineering techniques and design principles used in many solutions for vision-impaired and blind people are described and explained. Features: • a new comprehensive assistive technology model structures the volume into groups of chapters on vision fundamentals, mobility, communications and access to information, daily living, education and employment, and finally recreational activities; • contributions by international authors from the diverse engineering and scientific disciplines needed to describe and develop the necessary assistive technology solutions; • systematic coverage of the many different types of assistive technology devices, applications and solutions used by visually impaired and blind people; • chapters open with learning objectives and close with sets of test questions and details of practical projects that can be used for student investigative work and self-study. Assistive Technology for Vision-impaired and Blind People is an excellent self-study and reference textbook for assistive technology and rehabilitation engineering students and professionals. The comprehensive presentation also allows engineers and health professionals to update their knowledge of recent assistive technology developments for people with sight impairment and loss.

Developmental disabilities or neurodevelopmental disabilities (includes intellectual disability) are a diverse group of chronic disorders that begin at anytime during the development process (including conception, birth, and growth) up to 22 years of age and last throughout an individual's lifetime. Major disabilities include intellectual disability, learning disabilities, communication disorders, autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy and neural tube defects.   This book is a handy guide for practicing physicians and allied health professionals, who care for children and adolescents with developmental disabilities and their families. Written and edited by experts in the field engaged in the practice of developmental disabilities, this book provides a concise and easily accessible source on the subject. The consistent style, simplicity of presentation and numerous tables and figures enhance the understanding of complex concepts.     Dilip R Patel, MD, FAAP, FSAM, FAACPDM, FACSM, is professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Human Development at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, East Lansing, Michigan, USA.   Donald E.

Weg met de clichés over kansarme kinderen in de lagere school Luisteren naar kansarme kinderen zelf, is het vertrekpunt om hen echt vooruit te helpen. Wie aan leerkrachten vraagt hoe ze kijken naar kinderen in kansarmoede, krijgt vooral structurele kenmerken als antwoord: voedseltekort, weinig geld, bedreigde gezondheid, ... Wie luistert naar hoe de kansarme zijn basisschool heeft ervaren, krijgt een ander verhaal: verstoorde identiteitsontwikkeling, stress, cognitieve dysfuncties, ... Via getuigenissen en bevragingen toont dit boek het verschil in thema's tussen beide belevingswerelden. Het diept uit welke thema's er echt toe doen voor de betrokkenen en geeft een leidraad om aan de slag te gaan.

Hoe ging men vroeger met gehandicapte en zieke mensen om? Verschilde dit per tijdperk en per cultuur? De historicus Ben Wuyts maakte een verkenningstocht door de geschiedenis om de vragen over dit onderwerp te kunnen beantwoorden. Het resultaat is een uitvoerig en minutieus overzicht van de Oudheid tot nu. Elk tijdperk wordt nauwkeurig beschreven. De stelling 'hoe primitiever de samenleving, hoe negatiever de omgang met zieken en gehandicapten' gaat niet op. Beeldvorming, sociale omgang en houdingen ten opzichte van gehandicapten evolueerden in de loop der eeuwen zowel positief als negatief. Wuyts stelt dat in de huidige tijd correcte informatie via onderwijs, opvoeding en media van wezenlijk belang blijft om misverstanden, stereotype denkbeelden en vooroordelen bij het brede publiek te ontzenuwen. Met dit boek geeft hij al heel veel informatie. Ben Wuyts studeerde geschiedenis aan de Universiteit Gent en werkte meer dan dertig jaar in een school voor motorisch en meervoudig gehandicapte kinderen. In 1996 verscheen van hem 'Anders, maar niet minder. Leven met een handicap'*. © NBD Biblion
