Description: In Everybody Belongs, Dr. Arthur Shapiro discusses how negative myths and stereotypes create ingrained prejudices toward people with disabilities. This much-needed text stresses the importance of changing handicapist attitudes and developing a rationale for fostering positive ones. Popular beliefs, myths, and stereotypes are dispelled. Everybody Belongs balances theory with the practical application of ways to change negative prejudices in the classroom.
