to the voices of individuals with disabilities. Families in Society, 79(2),
188-196. Social work literature, research, and practice on disabilities
has lagged behind other topical areas dealing with oppressed groups. The
social work literature remains “expert focused” and generally fragmented
into discussions of specific disabilities or subpopulations. A viable general
model that deals with the personal experience of disability is not available.
This exploratory study presents a social work literature search and analysis
as well as interviews with six individuals with disabilities about their
experiences with social workers and provides a base for follow-up research
on models of consumer-focused social work practice in the area of disability.

change: a multicultural, participatory, community-based rehabilitation research
project involving Chinese children with disabilities and their families.
Chil and Youth Care Forum, 26(3), 205-219. A participatory, action-oriented
research approach was used in developing community-based services for children
with disabilities in an urban Chinese community. The findings of the research
are discussed with the aim of building on community strengths to reinforce
existing family support programs and involve families and children with a
disability in such processes in a culturally appropriate manner. - Beaulaurier, R. L., & Taylor, S. H. (1999). Self-determination
