Writing it Ourselves
Tarleton, Beth
British Journal of Learning Disabilities, v33 n2 p65-69 Jun 2005
The paper describes how a group of self advocates wrote a book. It discusses each of the stages of writing and developing the book. It says why they wanted to write a book, what they thought about making information easier and how they chose the right words and pictures. It shows that people with learning disabilities can make easy information for other people with learning disabilities. It also shows how making the information helped the self advocates develop lots of skills and how proud it made them feel. The self advocates knew how important it was for people with learning disabilities to be involved in making "easy information". They said they knew how it felt to be in their situation.
