Reviews
This volume weaves together the most critical work in systemic theory and practice, transforming the terrain of professional practice with people identified with learning disabilities. It offers an abundance of conceptual and practical resources for practitioners, researchers, communities, clients, and families. * Professor Sheila McNamee, Professor of Communication, University of New Hampshire, USA *
A thought provoking text that encourages us all to work towards more effective ways of standing in solidarity with children, young people, men and women with learning disabilities. I would recommend reading, reflecting and acting on its contents. * Ruth Northway, Professor of Learning Disability Nursing, University of South Wales, UK *
This book demonstrates how we might think of working in ways that emphasise the capacities of people with learning disabilities embracing innovative and enabling practices. This will be essential reading for anyone engaged in developing practice that understands disability as a fundamental concern of contemporary society. * Dan Goodley, Professor of Disability Studies and Education, University of Sheffield, UK *
