Looks at how tutors and participants in a self-advocacy course navigate their way through a maze of experiences, emotions and challenges. Part one examines the different models of self-advocacy and highlights the terminology used by many workers. Also looks critically at motives for working in the area of special needs, and examines why, in a world where everyone is supposedly equal, the fight for disabled people to be treated as such continues to be an uphill struggle. Part two concentrates on practice and methods used to promote self-advocacy. Uses the arts to encourage confidence and self esteem and gives examples of actual activities, highlighting sessions that went wrong and examining the reasons why.
