Reviews

You might expect and academic collection about learning difficulties to include the familiar diet of idealistic visions relating to rights, the social model of disability, inclusion, choice and control. All these themes are indeed to be found in David Race's book, but unusually they are rooted in the experiences and practice of the learning difficulties degree course at Stockport. Rather than being parochial, this gives a welcome reality check to each aspect of policy and theory that is presented...This book is rich in thought-provoking challenges, as well as solid information.. <br>-Community Care, September 5, 2002 <br>
