Exploring a vital subject that we are not used to hearing about

Couples With Intellectual Disabilities Talk About Living and Loving explores a subject that we are not used to hearing about—people with disabilities and the quality of their intimate relationships. This frank and compelling book contains interviews with fifteen couples who speak candidly about their relationships, revealing their deepest feelings, hopes, and desires. Parents, service providers, and people in the community have a rare opportunity to hear first-hand from people with mental disabilities who have beaten the odds by finding companionship and intimacy. They prove that people with disabilities need interdependent relationships, just as much as anyone else. NATIONAL MEDIA AWARD Canadian Association for Community Living. 200 pages, 6" X 9".
