Becoming Self-Advocates: People with intellectual Disability seeking a Voice

By Anne-Marie Callus

People with intellectual disability cannot assume that they can speak up for and represent themselves. A host of socially-constructed factors act as barriers to their becoming self-advocates. This book analyses the nature of these factors and investigates how the label 'intellectual disability' is understood and interpreted.
