The challenge of helping the handicapped

R. John C. Pearson

Social Science & Medicine, 1984, vol. 19, issue 6, 587-588

Abstract: Disabled persons represent a special problem for health and welfare services, as the services are usually specialized but the patient needs are multiple and need coordination. A brief description is given as to how in Ottawa, Canada, in the mid 1970s, voluntary efforts by health and welfare providers and patients and friends combined to smooth the road for at least some disabled persons.
