Restoring Voice to People with Cognitive Disabilities : Realizing the Right to Equal Recognition before the Law Paperback / softback
by Anna Arstein-Kerslake
Part of the Cambridge Disability Law and Policy Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
The right to make decisions is important for every individual.
It allows us to express ourselves, discover our likes and dislikes, and lead our lives in the way we desire.
People with cognitive disability have historically been denied this right in many different ways - sometimes informally by family members or carers, and other times formally by a courtroom or other legal authority.
This book provides a discussion of the importance of decision-making and the ways in which it is currently denied to people with cognitive disability.
It identifies the human right to equal recognition before the law as the key to ensuring the equal right to decision-making of people with cognitive disabilities.
Looking to the future, it also provides a roadmap to achieving such equality.
