diversity, we’re all a little behind. This book will help us to catch

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.

A Real Nice But

Order code: 05-B009
Price: £8.50
Format: 215x210mm 112pp paperback
This collection of writings
brings together for the first time Dave Hingsburger’s
articles from a variety of different magazines and newspapers in the
disability movement. These articles have caused controversy, inspired
debate and even brought on the odd belly laugh. Without a doubt, this
collection will give readers something to think about, to argue with and to
read aloud to friends. These articles often suggest that we should re-look
at what we do when serving people with disabilities, most of our good ideas
are sorely in need of a real nice but! This book does just that.

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

02-B027 Price: £3.50
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, now in its 4th printing. It describes
the Circle of Friends exercise, and 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.

and staff use every day to make inclusion work. Re-examine the role that
educators and others play in school communities, learn how to generate

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……..
