This booklet aims to help people with developmental disabilities to learn about their rights and to talk with others about their rights. The booklet is in two sections, 'Your rights' and 'Building skills together'. Your rights covers aspects of human rights including: equality; safety; home and family; privacy; independent living; work; education; health; access; political life; new attitudes; culture and sports. Building skills together contains two exercises. The first, 'I want to live like this!' is about living independently in the community and deciding how you want to live. The second, 'Speak up with power' is about how to be assertive.
