Culture and Disability

Dr. Stone (Ph.D., Education (Instructional Design and Development) Florida State University, 1976) directs the Center for International Rehabilitation Research Information and Exchange at the University at Buffalo. He is also Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Science at the university. In addition to teaching a wide range of graduate courses in the area of rehabilitation, many with an emphasis on diversity, he also coordinates the international activities of the Department of Occupational Therapy.

"With sections originally written for clinicians, Culture and Disability has expanded the scope work to include valuable information for both service providers as well as researchers. Culture and Disability is an excellent resource for both of its intended audiences."
