Format: 250x200mm 55pp paperback
In writing this handbook Laura has developed a
resource that is personally, professionally and organisationally challenging.
Her approach is detailed, systematic and very clearly and helpfully
structured - and at the same time remorseless in its focus on the
fundamental issues of equality and fairness. Definitions are detailed and
comprehensive and taken together they provide a rich and clear vocabulary
to support meaningful dialogue on the central issue of making organisations
work for all their members, not just the privileged few.
What this handbook offers is a means of translating principle into
practice, of moving beyond the rhetoric into real and authentic strategies
that have the potential to really influence the quality of life and
well-being of all members of the community. Laura Chapman provides the
clearest possible route map for leaders who believe that any type of
organisation has to act as a model of best practice and be demonstrably
committed to the highest ethical standards in every dimension of its
operations.
This handbook is a resource that will help change culture, custom
and practice and help to create a consistent approach to equality and
equity.

Dave

reflects a mind constantly working towards greater understanding of what it
is to be human. Laughter and tears, the stuff of life, all are here in this
new collection. When it comes to understanding the value of disability,
difference and diversity, we’re all a little behind. This book will help us
to catch up.

A Little Book About Person Centred Planning

Interest
in person-centred planning has grown rapidly over the past few years,
reflecting and driving growth in numbers of practitioners and variety of
methods and sponsors among organisations. This growth in interest has
shaped policy in several authorities and many agencies that have adopted
person-centred planning as a method of choice for at least some of the
groups of people they serve. Through person-centred planning’s first years,
its early developers have been busy doing plans with people and their
families, guiding others in learning to facilitate planning, consulting
with organisations exploring person-centred work, and joining people with
disabilities and their families to tell participants in conferences and
workshops about what they have learned.

Trauma is
devastating. What is even more devastating is never being given the chance
to heal from the trauma. Yet it happens every day. Why? Even in an era of
“Progressive mental health treatment” there are an astounding number of
people who believe that those with intellectual capacities, minimal verbal
communication, or a disability are not able to benefit from trauma therapy.
Better and easier to keep them medicated or preoccupied with simple tasks.
Better for whom? Easier maybe, for those who say they care for them on a
daily basis. What about the human being who suffers on a daily basis as she
remembers the horrors of ritual rapes as part of her bed time routine? What
about the young man who constantly has flashbacks of sadistic beatings at
the hands of his mother and boyfriends. Trauma does not disappear just
because someone is disabled.

About Teaching

Order
code: 02-B027 Price: £3.50 £1.00
Format:
215x135mm 33pp paperback
Tell
me, I’ll forget; Show me, I may remember; But involve me and I’ll
understand…..
This
proverb nicely sums up Frontier
College’s educational
philosophy.
Marsha Forest loved to teach. She would
arrive early in her classroom, whether it was a university lecture hall, a
community centre or a shelter for homeless people, and immediately
re-organise the furniture. Chairs would be placed in a circle (“I need to
see people’s faces”), handout materials would be
stacked everywhere and whenever possible, beautiful, inspirational music
would be playing. Marsha wrote this booklet to show us how to connect in a
meaningful way, with the people living in these places. She taught us how,
with these techniques and approaches, we could go, respectfully, to all of
these places and work with people in pursuit of their dreams, however grand
or modest.

This book
is the all time best seller of Inclusion Press,

the MAPS (Making Action Plans) process in detail. We strongly recommend it
as a companion to the videos: With A Little Help From My Friends and the
New MAPS Training Video. This book is filled with actual tips on how to
develop an action plan (MAP) for including any child at risk of exclusion.
It is not limited to any one label, but applies to children at risk at any
age. Although it focuses on infant and primary school children, the process
is transferable to high school students and adults.

Aquarius
Now. Radical common sense and
reclaiming our personal sovereignty
by Marilyn Ferguson
|
|
|

|
Order code: 18-B009 Price: £17.00
Format: 160x235mm 213pp hardback
In ‘Aquarius
now’ Marilyn Ferguson tells the
truth we don't want to face - we have no enemy except ourselves and the
mess we've made individually and collectively by refusing to look at what
we're doing to our bodies, our minds, our society, and the Earth itself.
We've been seduced by the Cult of Numbers, caught in a web of mindless
materialism, obsessed with competition, with winning and losing, afraid of
anything that can't be seen or measured, and in the grip of an economic
model where only that which generates more money is worth pursuing.
The imbalance
we see outside ourselves only mirrors the imbalance within. The way to heal
the imbalance is to heal ourselves. We have to stop thinking of ourselves
as conquerors and start thinking of ourselves as fellow travellers with
every living being on this planet. The task is not to climb a mountain, but
to navigate a river.
We need to take responsibility for our
own actions. We need to heed the words of our many available teachers……..

Owl, Measles and Ogre are three
characters that you won’t soon forget. Each are different—each unique. But
schools can be difficult places for those with differences. A bike race to
escape school bullies leads Owl directly to a hidden world and life
threatening danger. He is going to need
every ounce of courage he has, and even that isn’t enough. Owl’s only hope
for survival is Measles, a kid with Down Syndrome whose best friend is a
computer! Owl has always wanted friends. And given the mess he’s in,
there’s nothing he needs more!!
