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

|
Order code: 02-B037 Price
£8.00
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.

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-M001 Price:
£70.50
Format: manual 280x215mm 28pp paperback and 2 video 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 Rights Stuff . Self advocates learning and using their rights
by Wendy Hollo
and the Self Advocates from Skills
|
|

|
Order code: 05-M005 Price:
£32.90
Format: book 280x215mm 40pp paperback and
29 mins video 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.
