Order code: 05-B020 Price: £4.00
Format: 215 x 135mm 36pp paperback
People with
intellectual disabilities are often the brunt of teasing and bullying. From
schoolyard to workplace the teasing never seems to stop. “Just ignore it”
is usually the advice given, but is that good enough? This little book
suggests that there are ways that we can help people with disabilities
understand teasing and bullying. It also suggests new strategies for
dealing with mean people. Further, this book will help parents and staff
better support an individual with a disability who is being teased. Until
the world is a better place, people with disabilities have to be better
prepared to live in it.

The
Basics: Supporting Learners with Intellectual Challenge in Regular
Classrooms
by
Gary Bunch
|
|
|

|
Order code: 02-B037 Price
£9.00
Format 270x210mm
58pp paperback
A teacher’s resource book on
dealing with intellectual challenges in a regular classroom.
This book is a resource for teachers who have the
opportunity and the responsibility to work with students who have been
labelled with intellectual challenges. The fundamental premise is that good
teaching is good teaching - for all students. Secondly, this book believes
that teachers are good professionals and have both the skills and the
spirit to welcome and teach all learners. However, because of lags in
teacher training and support, many teachers may fear the challenge of
welcoming students who at first glance appear to require special training
they have not had.
This book walks through examples that reaffirm the
capacity of all teachers to teach all students using their own capacities,
the skills and enthusiasm of other students, and the untapped commitment
and talents of students labelled intellectually challenged.
As a teacher in a regular classroom you know that
you will have students with diverse intellectual abilities and needs in your
classroom. This manual is designed to give you, whether you teach
kindergarten or Grade 12 Chemistry, some ideas on how you can respond to
all your students as a professional and on a professional level. Certain
basic teaching strategies work effectively across learners and ages and
abilities. It is not as much a task of learning new teaching strategies, as
it is a matter of using what you already know with adjustments here and
there.

The Big Plan. A good life after
school
by
Stephen Coulson & Heather Simmons
|
|
|

Order code: 02-B035 Price
£17.50
Format 295x215mm
103pp wire bound
The Big Plan: A Good
Life After School describes the vibrant experience in Scotland and England, of an approach that
engages young people and their families in large groups to plan full lives.
It is inspired by and modelled on the work of Connie Lyle O'Brien &
Beth Mount with the PathFinders Project in New York City.
Students and their families and supporters come together over a series of
weeks and engage in person centred planning with their circles of support,
through a series of guided conversations and reflections.
Connie described the PathFinders experience as a
process of "self - efficacy" whereby students and families
recognized and respected each other's strengths and gifts, growing in
confidence and self-esteem as a result. In Implementing Person Centred
Planning: Voices of Experience, edited by John
O'Brien and Connie Lyle O'Brien, several chapters are
devoted to the group person centred planning process and the experience of
Pathfinders in New York.
The Big Plan is the rich story from the perspective of Heather Simmons and Stephen
Coulson of their Scottish/English derivation of the
Pathfinders approach, featuring stories of how the families worked, learned
and began to create new lives together, including the process facilitators'
reflections on their powerful learning and experience along the way.

The Ethics Of Touch.
Establishing and maintaining appropriate boundaries in service to people
with developmental disabilities
by
Mary Harber & Dave
Hingsburger
|
|
|

|
Order code: 05-MD001 Price: £72.00
Format: manual 280x215mm 28pp paperback and DVD set
(128 mins.)
All human
beings need touch. We need to be held. We need to hold.
This training
package looks at the delicate issue of touch. Those who provide direct care
to people with developmental disabilities are often asked to be in private
places performing intimate services. From bathing to toileting to dressing,
we are necessarily in close proximity to those we serve. Given this
situation, it is imperative that staff be aware of how to provide these
services while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. How do we
appropriately express affection toward those we serve? This video suggests
new and healthy ways of helping people with disabilities fulfil their
deepest needs.
The package
includes over 2 hours of lecture on 'touch', 'privacy' and 'boundaries' by
renowned trainer Dave Hingsburger
and a manual, co-authored by Mary Harber of the Sexual
Health Resource Network, which staff can use to participate in the
training.

The Path & Maps Handbook.
Person-centered ways to build community
By John O’Brien, Jack Pearpoint
& Lynda Kahn
|
|
|

Order
code: 02-B044 Price: £19.00
280x220mm
150pp spiralbound
This handbook reflects what we
have learned since the writing of the Path Workbook in 1995. It provides a
stronger foundation for path and maps by connecting person-centered planning to the work of community building. It
makes the basis for good facilitation more explicit and suggests some ways
that facilitators can improve their practice. It suggests new ways to frame
the questions in both path and maps. It presents a template for maps that
we have found usually works better than the cycle of eight questions with
which many people are familiar. It emphasises creative work with imagery as
integral to the process of exploring people’s gifts and highest purposes.
The Handbook is divided into
two parts: think about it and do it. The think about it section discusses
the purposes that path and maps serve and considers what makes facilitation
effective for both. The do it section provides five guides: one for getting
ready, a second and third for each of the steps in path and maps, a fourth
for keeping the action and learning going, and a fifth for getting better
at facilitation.

The Rights Stuff. Self advocates
learning and using their rights
by
Wendy Hollo and the Self Advocates from Skills
|
|
|

|
Order code: 05-MD005 Price: £52.50
Format: book 280x215mm 40pp paperback and 29 mins DVD set
Rights and
responsibilities are two of the most important things that we learn as we
grow. Unfortunately many people with developmental disabilities were never
taught that they had rights—nor were they taught about responsibilities.
Wendy Hollo pioneered a unique approach to this
problem. As Wendy considered the issue of rights within her agency, Skills
in Alberta,
she decided that the agency needed a Bill of Rights for the self advocates
that are service recipients. Furthermore, She decided that the self
advocates would write their own Bill of Rights.
The book
outlines in plain language how Wendy and the self advocates used the
understanding of rights to change the agency. Step by step direction that
will allow other agencies of self advocate groups to embark on the journey
to rights and responsibilities are given. The video shows how self advocates
portrayed their rights and responsibilities. The video is used to train
staff, promote organisational change, and to ensure that self advocates
have a tool for training each other and to constantly remind them of their
rights and responsibilities.
Together, the
book and video will give you a place to start when working with self
advocates within an agency. It demonstrates a project that can be
undertaken that provides a process for learning and a purpose for meeting.
