Written Material
Download

This collection of articles offers personal perspectives on why individual housing arrangements are more suitable to people with disability than segregated or congregated housing. Housing choices should be made on the basis of enhancing individuals' quality of life, not on the basis of economic efficiency. The anecdotes illustrate the personalised accommodation options can be successful, as personal identities an interests can be nurtured and developed through communities of interdependence. The articles are thought-provoking, and demonstrate the great value of each individual being supported to lead a unique life.
