New, updated edition
of Disabled Village Children has arrived
and is available for free download
Hello from Hesperian, publishers of Where There Is No Doctor and other books on health. Sorry if this is a crossposting -- we're writing to let you know that the new, updated edition of our benc hmark book on community-based rehabilitation, Disabled Village Children, has just arrived, and it's now available for free download.
From making playgrounds more accessible to creating low-cost rehabilitation aids, Disabled Village Children contains so much information, plus over 4000 helpful drawings and photographs to help readers of all levels understand it. Full of practical information, this indispensable book shows how to identify primary and secondary disabilities, the best range-of-motion exercises, how to build 6 different kinds of wheelchairs using local resources, fun and educational toys that children with disabilities can make and use, and more.
As people with disabilities assert their right to participate in a more just society, Disabled Village Children provides tools that allow children with disabilities to develop more self-confidence and self-reliance. We recently received a letter demonstrating how a boy named Jaime in El Salvador used Disabled Village Children to help fulfill his dream of attending school -- for the full story, please see our blog.
"Disabled Village Children is [. . .] beautiful as well as extremely useful."
-USAID

Thank you, and have a lovely day!
