Quality of Life: Application to Persons With Disabilities

New chapters in this edition address: 1) historical foundations; 2) contemporary issues in the field; 3) creative innovations in community services in New England; and 4) developments in managed care for people with disabilities across the U.S. 
David Braddock, Ph.D., who heads The States of the States project and is its chief author, has written more than 150 publications, and received the Distinguished Research Award from the The Arc/US.
