Beschreibungen
<p>Disability is neither strange nor distant.<br/><br/><br/> Part autobiography, part reflections of social advocate Cassandra Chiu’s experiences as a person living with visual impairment, <I>A Place For Us</I> is the story of the first woman to be a guide dog handler in Singapore and the first Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum in Southeast Asia who happens to be blind.<br/><br/><br/>Cassandra’s story starts with her growing-up years in 1980s Singapore, chronicling how her life unfolds with the onset of Stargardt disease, which causes progressive vision loss. From pursuing an education, navigating motherhood, to building a career as a psychotherapist, Cassandra openly discusses the attitudes towards disability and her journey towards true independence with her guide dog Esme.<br/><br/><br/>In inimitable frankness, <I>A Place For Us</I> offers an illuminating perspective of a person living with disability beyond the pity party of her life, and advocates for a more equal and sustainable future for people with disabilities.</p><br/><br/>"This is one change-maker’s voice that must be heard and amplified" - Dr. William Wan, the Singapore Kindness Movement.
