Young adults with intellectual disability tell the story of their own experience of higher education
How do students with intellectual disability experience higher education? Creating Our Own Lives addresses this question through the eyes of participants themselves. In relating their experiences and aspirations, these student perspectives mount a powerful challenge to assumptions that intellectual disability is best met with protection or segregation.
Taken together, the essays expose and contradict the inherently ableist claim that individuals with intellectual disability cannot be reliable storytellers. Instead, their deeply informative stories serve as a corrective narrative. The first of the four sections, “Laying the Foundation: Why Everyone Belongs in College,” focuses on belonging and inclusion; the second, “Opening Up Possibilities: Overcoming Doubt and Uncertainty,” conveys the optimism of this generation of advocates through stories of personal hardship, hopeful perseverance, and triumph over adversity; the third, “Inclusion as Action: Diversifying Student Experiences,” supports the understanding of diverse student experiences in inclusive higher education; and the fourth, “Supporting Growth: Peer Mentoring and Advice,” offers guidance to those reimagining and creating educational spaces.
Students with disabilities belong in higher education. Not only does this book serve as an important record of students enrolled in inclusive higher education programs, it is also an unprecedented resource, packed with information and inspiration both for parents seeking opportunities for their children and for individuals with intellectual disability who aspire to attend college.

Описание: I remember looking around at other Christians and thinking that their lives seemed wrapped up so nicely and tied with a little bow. I looked at them and wondered how it was even possible to be so put together. I remember wanting to be close to them because their seemingly perfect lives drew me in. That, or I was just hoping to get some of that put-togetherness by osmosis. Then I started becoming friends with these perfect Christians. And I learned that they often went through the same struggles that I was going through. We were all hanging out in our own separate corners, wondering why we were so bad at something we love so much. We love God, we want to be in His will, but our humanness gets in the way sometimes.So I wrote this devotional. A little how-to guide for Christians that are searching for that nicely wrapped box with the neat little bow. Christians asking tough questions and going through hard things. Christians that love God but are still human. In it, you won't find wrapping instructions. There is no pretty bow included. But you will find a box to store all the stumbling blocks and shortcomings. They're easier to hand over to God that way. He's the one with the ability to pull it all together.
