'I am currently working in Perth Western Australia,
and have just come across the book entitled Connecting People-The
Steps to Making it Happen. Whilst I have read many
articles and booklets on the subject of supporting people with
disabilities, I have to say the ideology and sentiment contained is
absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed the emphasis placed on
building effective relationships between the individual and the
supporter-with use of the words 'warmth' and 'solidarity' being
truly fabulous.'
