'Gaining any degree of independence is difficult for people with disabilites, but not necessarily because disabilites prevent them. Often the people around them do not have the skills, time, sensitivity or intelligence to understand that the person with disabilities thinks, has feelings and preferences, and may have goals for themselves quite seperate from those assigned to them by others. This first title in a four-book training set is written for people with disabilities who want to develop advocacy skills for themselves and their peers or partners. With a minimum of jargon, this gives readers basic theories and practices of different types of advocacy, including campaign and citizen advocacy, crisis or intervention advocacy, volunteer and non-directed advocacy as well as tips on planning circles, health complaints advocacy and self-advocacy.'
