In their words - the right to love and be loved. February 6, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As an educator working with special needs students ranging in age from five to sixteen, I found this book to be very insightful. The reality of relationships and sexuality can be a challenging topic for people who support persons with disabilities. The author's decision to use each person's words to describe their relationship as part of a couple is a powerful support of the need for self-efficacy, regardless of cognitive ability. The common thread that runs throughout the interviews is each person's belief that they have the right to make decisions about who will share their life. For all people who impact the lives of persons with disabilities, this book is an eloquent reminder that we all share the same dream and we all have the right to pursue our dreams.
