Langbeschreibung
This insightful book brings together the voices of those best placed to talk about the rewards and challenges of living with, supporting and teaching people with profound and complex learning difficulties - parents, carers, teachers, head-teachers, neurologists and musicologists. Their reflections are organised under a series of moral, social and political questions about the status, role and treatment of some of the most vulnerable and dependent people in our society, and recorded thematically.
