AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
Research and Application
Edited by

Teresa L. Thompson
University of Dayton
A Volume in LEA's Communication Series
This handbook represents the first comprehensive collection of
research
on communication and people with disabilities. The editors have
brought
together original contributions focusing on the identity, social, and
relationship adjustments faced by people with disabilities and those
with whom they relate. Essays report on topics across the
communication
spectrum--interpersonal and relationship issues, people with
disabilities in organizational settings, disability and culture, media
and technologies, communication issues as they impact specific
types of
disabilities--and establish a future agenda for communication and
disability research. Each chapter provides a state-of-the-art literature
review, practical applications of the material, and keywords and
discussion questions to facilitate classroom use. In providing an
outlet
for current research on communication and disability issues, this
unique
collection contributes to the lives of people with and without
disabilities, helping them to improve their own communication and
relationships. Intended for readers in communication, psychology,
sociology, rehabilitation, social work, special education, gerontology,
and related disciplines, this handbook is certain to augment further
theory and research as well as offering insights for both personal and
professional relationships.
