There is a relationship between our heads and our hearts. When
the two are working in harmony, inner peace occurs, and our ability
to focus on our desires becomes limitless. When this harmony is
also supported by our physical surroundings, not only is the focus
further enhanced, the time frames for achieving our goals shorten
significantly. This is because our physical environments are
reflections of our inner thoughts and beliefs. Consider for a
moment moving your living room couch. If the new placement requires
you to create different walking patterns, you have changed more
than the furniture, you have changed your perspective. Now
introduce an intention or goal to that perspective, and you are
literally walking the path to your dreams.This book is a collection
of stories where people found themselves needing a change and
unsure of what to do first. By addressing their physical space,
they gave themselves a door that led out of their limiting
surroundings and into their futures.
Drawing extensively on personal experiences, this important volume
looks at sexuality and relationships in the lives of people with
intellectual disabilities, painting a genuine picture of the range
of sexualities and relationships people want. Honest and
reflective, it shows how sexuality has been managed and controlled
in different countries. It explores a range of issues such as
rights, resilience, protection, sexual oppression and the lack of
privacy for those living in care institutions. Co-edited and with
contributions by people with intellectual disabilities and allies,
this unique book offers an authentic account of the challenges
people face and what society needs to do to respect people's
rights. Providing insight into a morally, ethically and legally
complex area, this book will be essential reading for people with
intellectual disabilities, their advocates, families and
supporters; social care managers, social workers, and other
professionals working in the field as well as academic researchers
and students.
Critical Thinking for Better Learning shifts the focus from
teaching to learning and from presenting information to creating
challenges that teach students how to think in your discipline. The
shift derives from three new insights from cognitive science: that
we think by analogy, that we learn best when we process clear,
focused sources and develop our own theories about our findings,
and that there are key threshold concepts that define the
discipline and make it attractive to young practitioners. This book
explains each of these insights in direct, clear language, with
examples of how to implement them in your own classroom.
