Anne Donnellan and Martha Leary demonstrate the neglected discipline of seeking a new pattern of understanding. They carefully note anomalies, irregularities likely to be ignored or explained away in routine practice: irregularities such as the many accommodations people with disabilities have invented beneath the notice of the professionals who ordinarily control their treatment. This book not only has a model of the discipline we must cultivate, it has the support of people with disabilities as full partners in the difficult search for better understanding and better accommodation.
