Disability, Civil Rights, and Public Policy examines how implementation policies in these areas evolved through protracted political struggles among a variety of persons and groups affected by disability rights laws.

The role of symbolic politics, the strengths and weaknesses of the contemporary models used for policy implementation, and the politics of administrative policymaking play key roles in this study.
