Hand Made Love. A guide for teaching about male masturbation through understanding and video by Dave Hingsburger
		Order code: 05-M002 Price: £32.90 Format: 16 mins video & 280x215mm 55pp paperback guidebook set This video is a welcome addition to the field of sex education with people who have disabilities that hinder learning. Unlike many masturbation tapes, this one places the act of self pleasure in context. Steve, the narrator, discusses privacy, pleasure and the realities of sharing living spaces with others. He also talks about sex and desire. While setting the stage to demonstrate masturbation, he speaks in plain language that is fully respectful of the needs of the viewer. As the discussion becomes more private there are opportunities for the viewer to decide if they would like to continue watching or stop. The guidebook discusses masturbation from the point of health and pleasure. Dave writes about both systemic issues and the right of the individual to privacy. He uses examples to illustrate his points and suggests ways to build healthy environments for adults. The book also includes a consultation on masturbation for clinical staff. Suggestions are made as to how to use the video in teaching about such a private topic.
Handbook Of Mental Health Care for persons with developmental disabilities by Ruth Ryan MD
		Order code: 05-B016 Price: £11.50 Format: 215 x 140 mm 215 pp paperback Persons with developmental disabilities are vulnerable to the same mental health conditions as other people, and all forms of treatment, including psychotherapy, can be effective. This book outlines principles and methods for adapting standard diagnosis and treatment techniques to be effective for persons who use a variety of communication styles, and who have endured experiences unique to persons with developmental disabilities. Other chapters include ideas for working in systems, recognition of medical problems which influence mental health, and stories of many individuals who have generously shared this information for the purpose of teaching.
Hints for Graphic Facilitators by Jack Pearpoint
		Order code: 02-B024 Price: £12.50 Format: 275 x 215 mm 47pp paperback This book is an introduction to graphic facilitation. If you are curious, nervous, terrified, or even better just want to try graphics on for size, this is the book for you. The underlying assumption is that we all have this gift, and we just need to remember how we did it when we were children. Thus, it includes beginning steps, and has hundreds of images that you can build on. Most are very simple, but colour panels also demonstrate how felt pens and pastel crayons can make everyone's work lively and colourful. If you are working in Person Centred Planning in its many forms, MAPS, PATH, Circles, and more, and wondering about the graphics you need, you need this book. You can do this. Get the book. Try it. You'll like it.
Hope for the Families by Robert Perske
	Order code: 04-B007 Price: £11.50 Format: 275x210mm 96pp paperback If you are the parent of a child with a disability and sometimes have felt that you were completely unable to cope with the unique problems confronting you, let Robert Perske be your guide to an enlightened and rewarding life for you and your child. In 28 brief, optimistic chapters, he shows the many ways that parents and families can overcome their fears and inhibitions. He looks at such varied and practical topics as changing world-views, theology, human dignity, sexual development, and family systems, and explores the numerous opportunities open to persons with retardation or other disabilities. To emphasise his meaning and to encourage discussion, “Consider These Options” sections are included with most chapters. Adding still more warmth to this forward-looking book are 24 extraordinarily sensitive drawings by Martha Perske.
