最近备受瞩目的美国残疾人倡导者演员克里斯托弗·里夫向公众强调了残疾的经济和社会成本以及康复的重要性。 《Enabling America》是对康复科学与工程领域的一次重大分析。该书解释了如何获得对这一不断发展的研究领域的认可，如何确定优先事项，以及如何改进该领域众多联邦研究项目的组织和管理。该委员会引入了“赋能-残疾过程”模型，该模型增强了残疾和康复的概念，并回顾了以下领域的已知内容和正在出现的研究重点： * 病理学和损伤，包括儿童和成人之间的差异。 * 功能限制——例如一个人吃饭或行走的能力。 * 残疾是指一个人的病理、损伤和功能限制与周围的物理和社会环境之间的相互作用。这本具有里程碑意义的书将引起所有参与康复科学和工程的人的特别兴趣：联邦政策制定者、康复从业者和管理人员、研究人员以及残疾人倡导者。
The most recent high-profile advocate for Americans with disabilities, actor Christopher Reeve, has highlighted for the public the economic and social costs of disability and the importance of rehabilitation. Enabling America is a major analysis of the field of rehabilitation science and engineering. The book explains how to achieve recognition for this evolving field of study, how to set priorities, and how to improve the organization and administration of the numerous federal research programs in this area. The committee introduces the "enabling-disability process" model, which enhances the concepts of disability and rehabilitation, and reviews what is known and what research priorities are emerging in the areas of: * Pathology and impairment, including differences between children and adults. * Functional limitations--in a person's ability to eat or walk, for example. * Disability as the interaction between a person's pathologies, impairments, and functional limitations and the surrounding physical and social environments. This landmark volume will be of special interest to anyone involved in rehabilitation science and engineering: federal policymakers, rehabilitation practitioners and administrators, researchers, and advocates for persons with disabilities.
