Rainbow People - Supporting the Disabled to Become Enabled: True stories of empowerment for the disabled (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780987617712)

We live in a world of individual differences. Yet when you take a closer look at anyone at all, you find that, essentially, we are all the same. This book tells you why that is.

The author shares with you the informative and entertaining stories of her life work journey with disabled people. She relates how her path was 'intercepted' by a special group of individuals early in her career and how that experience led to a change in her direction.

Her messages will not only uplift and inspire you as a support worker or carer, you will feel a sense of pride to take on those roles. The disabled Barbara met along her path will 'show and tell' you how to focus on their abilities - often without saying a word. Yet with their collective 'voice', they can teach you more about yourself as well.

For those of you who feel ignorant of what it means to be Intellectually Disabled, then you will be pleasantly surprised when you meet many of them in this thought provoking and joyful book. Each individual invites you to join them through their own stories with a promise to gladden your heart and put a smile on your face.
