Handbook of Disabilities Index

The handbookof disabilities is still a work in progress, with completion expected soon. In the meantime, the individual chapters will be made available on this web page. The list below shows all the planned entries by system. The completed entries are hyperlinked.

All completed entries are stored in Adobe PDF format, both version 5.0 and version 4. The 5.0 versions have disability access features but you will need Acrobat Reader 5.0 to open them, which is available at http://www.adobe.com . If you do not need the disability access features and nothing happens when you try to open the 5.0 version of an entry (the main link for each entry is to the 5.0 version), try the 4.0 version (the one in parenthesis after each entry).
