Redefining the Elements of a Quality Life!

What elements do all persons need to experience a meaningful life? Valued relationships. Dignity, respect and choice. Meaningful activities. Full and abundant living. But, what outmoded policies, methods, attitudes, and habits need to change so that a person with an intellectual or developmental disability can experience these elements? Dr. Pomeranz describes how certain mindsets can demean, degrade, devalue and dehumanize a person. He guides the service provider through the very best practices and the attitudes that go with them. He illustrates these ideas with lively stories, poetry, to-do lists, rules of thumb and illustrations. You will enjoy Tom's deep insights and real-life anecdotes. And, you now get all of his best ideas and tools in one book, at one low price. All four sections are contained in this new, updated edition.
