Publisher's Summary:
Contributors to this engaging book bring together evidence, narratives and discussions that question and advance our understanding of the concept of 'access' for people with learning disabilities. Through a series of related chapters, key researchers in the field of inclusion and learning disability consider the following pivotal questions: what kind of access do people with learning disabilities want? What is involved in getting access? What is involved in facilitating access? This seminal text will stimulate and enrich the debate about 'access' for people with learning disabilities, enhance clarity around the concept of 'access' for people with learning disabilities without over-simplifying what is involved and fosters a greater understanding of the process of 'access', in particular to identify best practice in relation to facilitating and promoting access. With contributions from a range of stakeholders, including people with learning disabilities themselves, this book promotes a unique rationale for a new multi-dimensional model of access and will be of immense interest to students, researchers and professionals involved in inclusion and disability issues.
