By: Breen, Jonathon S [author.].
Contributor(s): Forwell, Susan J [author.].
Series: Routaldge Studies in Employment and Work Relation in Context. Publisher: New York, United State of America Routledge 2023Edition: 1 Edition.Description: xiv,194p.ISBN: 9781032116068.Subject(s): People with disabilities -- Employment | Work environment | Work -- Psychological aspects | Interpersonal relations -- Psychological attitudesDDC classification: 362.40484 Summary: This book introduces the difference model of disability. Framed within an affect-based understanding of the relationships between those living with impairments and others, this new model offers a reconsideration of the construct of disability itself. Disability is flexible, relational, and perceived through an acognitive lens. At a practice level, the difference model offers a framework for creating more positive and successful relationships between persons with disabilities (PWDs) and others within the workplace. This includes two new tools, the Co-Worker Acceptance of Disabled Employees (CADE) Scale and the Perceived Barriers to Employing Persons with Disabilities (PBED) Scale. Designed to measure workplace attitudes, and changes to these attitudes, each of these scales provides empirical evidence in support of strategic planning and, ultimately, an increased representation of PWDs. Finally, this book considers the effects of language and technology on workplace attitudes toward disability"--| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
