Disability Now
I don not know how many of you out there are aware that they are many magazines out there that voices for the needs of disabled people, their facilities and carers. This has to be in the premier league of all these magazines. Before going to university to study disability studies I would never of know about this magazine, unless an inspiring tutor got hold of it and the whole class and myself were hooked!!
This magazine can be used for assignments as it keeps you up to date of disability rights and the progress and struggles of the disability movement.
