How to Use This Book
This casebook is designed to be a companion resource for the book Disability Inclusion: Disability as Diversity. We recommend reading that book first or in conjunction with the casebook. The casebook includes cases informed by disability professionals, faculty, and administrators in nursing and medicine, but is applicable to a number of health science programs. Each case includes a history introducing the student and the scenario, followed by perspectives on challenges and concerns from the point of view of the student, the program, and the disability resource professional. These perspectives assist the reader with understanding the various points of view, giving them a full 360-degree view of how each party perceives a disability-related barrier. This perspective taking aids the reader in understanding the punctum caecum of each stakeholder.
