Mainstream or Special Schools?
"Mainstreaming means children with disabilities have role models"
Does the State Care?
"Tonight, Matthew, I learned that they have not listened" A Silenced Voice "I cannot speak, write, articulate my needs or do any of the things you do so easily and naturally" Individualisation
Kate's Story How a service and a family worked together to produce a dramatic improvement in the quality of life of a young woman. |
My Daughter "the news given to us that day began what would essentially be a lifetime of being a lesser citizen, a charity case" Memories of my Darling Daughter Margaret "It is now three years since the passing of my youngest daughter, Margaret" Rory This is quite a different story. Rory was very much a free spirit who lived life to the full, despite his intellectual disability. The NPSA would like to thank his father, Michael Mahon, for permission to use this booklet which he had printed in Rory's memory.
