NORMAN KUNC - Disability, Normalcy, and the Tyranny of Rehabilitation (Excerpts)
Norman recounts his experience with rehabilitation and questions whether therapy really serves the best interests of the "client" or whether it is a symptom of a society which idolizes normalcy and perfection.
Norman Kunc contends that rehabilitation and remediation programs often tyrannize people with disabilities by attempting to eradicate their disability. He suggests that we need to focus on improving a person's "physical well-being" rather than trying to "fix the client."
