Download or read book Thinking Globallly Acting Locally written by Peter Mittler and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual book is more than just the memoir of a distinguished career. It is a history of the twentieth century reflected in the life and work of one individual. It begins in 1938 with a year in the life of an eight year old Viennese Jewish boy as he experiences the worst and best of humanity, from Nazi persecution to rescue by strangers through the Kindertransports. It tells of his encounters with an English schooling system at its worst and best and of his formative years. But this is not a story of one person’s liberation. That little refugee boy grew up to contribute to the liberation of hundreds of thousands of people world-wide. Influenced by his own early experiences, Peter Mittler has spent a lifetime committed to the human rights of people with intellectual disabilities. From their liberation from the big institutions left over from the nineteenth century, to their inclusion in shaping the 2008 United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, it tells the story of a dynamic and powerful human rights movement. It is perhaps the last great untold story, the story of how persons with intellectual disabilities finally gained the right to respect, value and autonomy and of the long struggle for schooling, access to work and their own front door key. This memoir weaves professional memories and accounts of collaboration across the global village with anecdotes and travellers’ tales to reflect a global perspective from someone who was there at every twist and turn, working with families, teachers, researchers, governments and self-advocates for over 60 years to influence legislation and drive lasting reform. EXTRACTS FROM BOOK REVIEWS Dame Phillipa Russell (from foreword) Socrates is reputed to have said that each generation produces a very small number of 'hero innovators' who change the way in which society values its citizens. For me and for many others, Peter Mittler is indeed one of those 'hero innovators', radically changing both national and international attitudes towards people with intellectual and other disabilities and their families. Duncan Mitchell British Journal of Learning Disabilities Peter Mittler is one of the giants of learning disability in the second half of the twentieth century. It is rare to find such a wonderfully understated page turner. Ingrid Lunt, Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs The book succeeds in going far beyond an autobiography… is easy to read, and carries the reader through with the strong narrative. Paul Williams Community Living What an incredibly full and constructive life! The book is very well written and highly readable. David Mitchell, International Journal of Disability, Development and Education Peter Mittler has the happy knack of being able to synthesise disparate material in an interesting manner, with an eye to the broader philosophical context. This book is a fitting summation of one man’s personal journey to address inequalities, particularly as they apply to those among us who have disabilities. Chris Cullen, History of Psychology and Philosophy This is a fascinating book, which chronicles the life journey of Peter Mittler, a leading exponent of evidence-based services and social inclusion for people with intellectual impairments. More than this, though, it is a history of the slow and often halting progress which has been made in the United Kingdom and throughout the

Download or read book Exploring Self advocacy from a Social Power Perspective written by Tanya Dianne Whitehead and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a thought-provoking analysis of social power comprehensive enough to satisfy the advanced reader without overwhelming those newer to the field. Self-advocates and advisers will appreciate the application of power dynamics to situations that clearly portray the obstacles faced by those trying to obtain real homes and jobs in the community. The power analysis of a young woman's life experiences and results from a national survey of self-advocacy advisors further reveal constraints in power relations and suggest action steps. Members and Advisors of People First self-advocacy chapters participated in the research at all stages. The appendix contains hundreds of gripping verbatim responses from self-advocacy advisors in the field that illustrate power issues familiar to everyone in the disability field. People with developmental disabilities and their friends will recognise the struggle, and those not already familiar with social power theory will find it to be a new tool that lays bare the framework underlying many of their deepest frustrations.
