This book pushes the boundaries in the way we approach people with
profound intellectual and multiple disabilities, and in how we work with
them in education and research. While it is grounded in diverse
theoretical frameworks and disciplines, the book coheres around a
commitment to seeing people with profound intellectual and multiple
disabilities as equal citizens who belong in our classrooms, research
projects and community lives.
Each section covers policy contexts, key ideas and recent research.
Featuring contributions from around the world, the book incorporates
established and new voices, different disciplines and experiences.
Additionally, it includes pieces from family members of people with
profound intellectual and multiple disabilities. Divided into three
parts, the book explores three main topics:
- Belonging in education
- Belonging in research
- Belonging in communities
Belonging for People with Profound Intellectual and Multiple
Disabilities is an invaluable resource for scholars, professionals and
postgraduate research students with an interest in children or adults
with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities.
