The Development, Conceptualisation and Implementation of Quality in Disability Support Services

Social services for people with disabilities have undergone significant changes over time, especially in the last two decades. This book looks at some of these trends, particularly in relation to the link between living situation and the support available in different countries. It looks at the factors that have contributed to these changes. While the lack of affordable and suitable housing is a barrier to living in a mainstream environment, for many people with disabilities it is only one of many pieces of the puzzle. This book also looks at other aspects of what it takes to make real positive change in the lives of people with disabilities.
