People First $10.00Inspiring life stories of 11 New Zealanders who have a learning disability. In the book the life stories are interspersed with a commentary on current issues in the field of learning disability. We may have closed the institutions but our vision of inclusion is clouded and most people remain isolated, on the margins of their communities. The book enables funders, service staff and families to reflect on what needs to happen for all people to move beyond the role of passive recipients of care to be able to contribute positively to their communities. A DVD version of this book is also available from People First. All money from the sale of this resource goes to People First More information about People First is available at www.peoplefirst.org.nz
