The human rights agenda for persons with intellectual disabilities

Shelley L. Watson, Frances Ann Owen, Dorothy M. Griffiths

"This book explores ways in which the spirit of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities may be enacted in the lives of individuals who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. A broad range of rights issues and research is examined related to health, education, the law, sexuality, parenting, and daily living, with the goal of exploring the history of concerns and barriers to rights enactment. Examples of rights promotion programs are described and strategy recommendations are provided for organizations and self-advocates committed to the promotion of the authentic enactment of human rights." - Back cover.
