Leaders Manual for Make a Difference By John O’Brien & Beth Mount
	Order Code: 02-B032 Price: £14.80 Format: 310 x 220 mm 50pp folder + CD ROM “Make a Difference. A guidebook for Person-centered direct support” is a new addition from Inclusion Press, Canada, to the Inclusion Distribution catalogue (see 02-B030). Here is a 50 page Instructor's manual, with a CD-ROM containing ready made PowerPoint presentations, slide show, Peter Leidy songs sampler, articles - everything you need to introduce Make a Difference to your team. It includes some suggestions for guiding a group of learners through the experience of improving their understanding of direct support. Because people will use Make a Difference in many different ways, suggestions rather than detailed lesson plans are included. You should complete the exercises in the book, including the Learning Journey with a person with a developmental disability, before you lead others in the process. This is the best way to get a feel for the tasks and to work out how you will make the bridge between the particular learners you are guiding and the exercise and other material in the guidebook.

Let it be us. And other poems by Micheline Mason
		Order code: 35-B001 Price:£7.00 Format: 190x145 mm 55pp paperback This book is an attempt by one woman to express her experience of life as a disabled, working class activist dedicated to the creation of a classless society. The poems are very personal, often angry and sometimes funny. They range across many subjects - the filling in of forms; self doubt; the way language is used to silence working class people; the need of disabled people to be welcomed; how to peel a banana and many others which suddenly inspired the author to pick up her pen. Each one tries to encourage the reader to look at things in a different way, one which may challenge common assumptions and traditional viewpoints. The poems are illustrated with several original line drawings by the author which add to the uniqueness of the book.
