The Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology and Disability by
"The Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology and Disability is the first comprehensive text providing a foundation for research and practice focusing on positive attributes of disability.

"The role of play in human development has long been the subject of controversy. Despite being championed by many of the foremost scholars of the twentieth century, play has been dogged by underrepresentation and marginalization in literature across the scientific disciplines.
