Half a century after beginning a profound return to their communities, our supports to people with disabilities have never been better poised to generate passionate, hopeful dialogue. Eighteen voices gather in this new anthology of works by academics, researchers, self advocates, parents, service providers and spiritual leaders to demonstrate the wonderfully engaged and engaging discussion that is taking place all around the world. The authors invite you to sit by their fire, as David Pitonyak gathers wood, Norman Kunc refutes the ability of a washing machine to bake a cake after all, Peter Park talks about the joy of putting his cause on the agenda, Michael Kendrick articulates the power of struggle, Paul Young discusses the "cocoon of impossibility" of traditional services and Susan Stanfield renders a changing dynamic in elegant and clear language. This anthology is about leadership of all kinds - from the front of the room to that of parents dreaming and manifesting bigger dreams.
