The book introduces the Life Course Disability model, emphasizing the need for healthcare and mental health professionals to view disability as a lifelong condition rather than a temporary one. It highlights the experiences of polio survivors to illustrate the model's dimensions, advocating for a new understanding of disability that encompasses both acute and chronic aspects, along with potential transitions throughout life. This approach aims to enhance assessment and support for individuals aging with disabilities.
