The issue of access is at the forefront of the practical
challenges facing people with learning difficulties and people
working with or supporting them. This engaging text brings together
evidence, narratives and discussions that question and advance our
understanding of the concept of access for people with learning
difficulties. Seale and Nind draw on their expertise to analyse a
wide range of situations, including access to public spaces,
citizenship education, community participation, and employment.
Through a series of related chapters, key researchers in the
field of inclusion and learning difficulties enrich the access
debate by:
- considering what kind of access people with learning
difficulties want;
- identifying effective practice in relation to facilitating and
promoting access;
- revealing the capability of people with learning difficulties
to seek and achieve access to potentially exclusionary
communities;
- providing a space for a wide range of people to share access
stories.
With contributions from a variety of stakeholders including
people with learning difficulties, Understanding and Promoting
Access for People with Learning Difficulties clarifies the concept
of access without over-simplifying what is involved. Through
rigorous critique, this book provides a unique rationale for a new
multi-dimensional model of access and ways of promoting it.
Proposing a reconceptualisation of the risk associated with
promoting access for people with learning difficulties, this book
will be of immense interest to students, researchers and
professionals involved in inclusion and disability issues.
