N2  - "Susan offers an elegant and precise voice to a new era of supporting independence and authentic roles to a new era of supporting interdependence and authentic roles for people with disabilities as they make their own choices in their homes, work places, neighbourhoods and associational lives. This is an informative and practical book that would be an excellent addition to the libraries of teachers in inclusive classrooms, parents and those working in the field. We expect a great deal from those who support our citizens with disabilities in their daily lives, and this book is a welcome and respectful addition to the field." - BOOK JACKET
