Publisher: |
Scottish Consortium for Learning Disability, 2002. 202p., DVD |

Abstract: |
Becoming visible is a training resource with a DVD (with subtitles) and a clearly set out and illustrated accompanying book. It aims to raise awareness of the positive contribution that people with profound and multiple learning disabilities can make to their communities. The producers of the resource hope to increase understanding of the impact of social inclusion and exclusion on the lives of real families and to promote debate and action on the changes that are needed to create a truly inclusive society. Becoming visible tells the story of three young people each with profound and multiple learning difficulties. The DVD describes their lives and those of their carers. Among the issues raised are growing up, planning for the future, making choices, public attitudes, community belonging, caring for someone with complex health needs, support for family carers, building relationships, supported living, communication, and leisure. The resource is written for a wide audience including, community groups, family carers, service providers, and groups promoting inclusion. It may also have a place in supporting existing courses on social justice, community inclusion, disability, and diversity, such as those that form part of social work degrees. |
