Описание: This book examines how intellectual disability is affected by stigma and how this stigma has developed. Around two per cent of the world's population have an intellectual disability but their low visibility in many places bears witness to their continuing exclusion from society. This prejudice has an impact on the family of those with an intellectual disability as well as the individual themselves and affects the well-being and life chances of all those involved. This book provides a framework for tackling intellectual disability stigma in institutional processes, media representations and other, less overt, settings. It also highlights the anti-stigma interventions which are already in place and the central role that self-advocacy must play.
Описание: For people with learning disabilities, effective communication presents a special set of challenges.

Описание:
There are more opportunities than ever before for young people with disabilities to participate in sport and adapted physical education. For example, there are more than 3.7 million athletes worldwide aligned to the Special Olympics organisation, with national associations active in more than 200 countries worldwide. Despite this rapid growth, all too often coaches and teachers lack adequate knowledge of the particular challenges faced by people with intellectual disabilities. The principal aim of this book is to improve the understanding and professional skills of coaches, teachers, practitioners and researchers, to promote awareness of successful programmes addressing the needs of such young people, and to challenge the prevailing myths and stereotypes surrounding their abilities.
With contributions from leading researchers and practitioners around the world, this book is the first to explore in depth the topic of sport and intellectual disability from a coaching perspective. Including both theoretical discussion and empirical case-studies, the book covers a full range of contemporary issues and themes, including training and coaching, family support, perceptions of disability, athlete motivation, positive sport experiences, motor development programmes, and social and cultural aspects of disability. Sport Coaching and Intellectual Disability is important reading for any student, researcher, coach, teacher, manager or policy maker with an interest in disability sport, physical education, coaching, or mainstream disability studies.

"A book told in the voice of an individual with disabilities is a rarity. This book -- so rich and full, so vivid and moving, so free of clich , so bursting with hope -- is a marvel." -- Rachel Simon, New York Times bestselling author of Riding the Bus with My Sister and The Story of Beautiful Girl
"Wonderful ... Informative and inspirational ... A different perspective." -- Barbara E. Bromley, Ph.D., California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
"Michael Long tells the truth in this book. And truth about what it means to be a human being is hard to come by." -- Nancy R. Thaler, Deputy Secretary for the Office of Developmental Programs, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Michael S. Long is a dreamer, and this candid memoir brings you into those dreams and into the reality of life with a disability.
Born with an intellectual disability and cerebral palsy, Michael takes you right along with him as he recounts his youth and teen years -- when he was mocked, ridiculed and branded "a retard" -- through his young adult life, when he learned to truly believe in himself and in the power of his potential.
Michael will win you over with his plainspoken style as he shares how he fulfilled his dreams -- to have a home of his own, a career, and someone to love -- and offers the inspiration to go after your own heart's fondest desires, no matter what.
