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.
