The book looks in detail at how we think about and interact with people with learning disabilities and emphasises the importance of the voice of those people being heard. The contr ibutors believe that it is essential to build mechanisms of power at the policy and service levels on the basis of the choices, wishes, needs and desires of learning disabled people in their everyday lives, so that the rights, interests and entitlements of people with learning disabilities can be respected and protected and consequently their dignity and quality of life maximised as far as possible.
