Deinstitutionalization and People with Intellectual Disabilities by Kelley Johnson
This collection of personal and professional perspectives addresses the key steps towards deinstitutionalization as they have been experienced by people with intellectual disabilities: living inside total institutions, moving out, living in the community and moving on to new forms of both institutionalization and community life.
The thought-provoking words of the disabled painted a sometimes dark and depressing view of life within the walls of a institution, and highlighted the need for compassion and love in the staff who work with these incredibly vulnerable peopleDespite all this, the overall theme of the publication is one of hope. I thoroughly enjoyed this, I appreciated the beauty of the stories, and I valued the hope it gave me. -- Australian Social Work
