Simply for the Love of It
|
 |
Author: James B. McKelvey
Description:
Simply for the Love of It is a beginner's guide, but it's not for
people new to the field. Based on the author's 25 years experience,
the book moves from the early days of institutional services into the
future possibilities of self-determination and community inclusion.
It shows where we've been, where we are, and where we could go in
support services. The author's personal tone and advocacy stance
helps people understand the need for change and see the way into a
brighter future. |
