This book is dedicated to the humanity of people and shares experiences on what exceptional care and support for families with children and adults with learning difficulties or autism can look like. Sara Ryan avoids terminology and 'diplomatic language' to create authentic family experiences. By talking with families and professionals, she expresses the love, laughter, and joy that unite families, as well as the harsh realities they face; from separation from loved ones, low-quality care to frustration and helplessness in the face of rigid services. From their experiences, Sara seeks to capture those areas of exceptional quality that families have encountered and where outstanding professionals have presided, so that we can all learn from them. We know so much about how support and services should be in order to enable people to flourish - this book aims to help families and professionals achieve this together.
