Perske
convincingly demonstrates that persons with disabilities are capable of
functioning in the mainstream of community life. With insight and
compassion, he shows how their presence in their neighbourhoods can be a
uniquely positive experience. Our first task, as Perske sees it, is to
re-educate ourselves about persons with handicaps and their
capabilities-even to the point of changing the way we sometimes refer to
them. Once we’ve loosened their categorical chains, a whole new world
of opportunity can open up for them and for us. Perske examines numerous
documented cases where these persons have moved into neighbourhoods and
have changed them for the better.
