More than Inclusion

An 84-page book of heartwarming stories and pictures, illustrating L'Arche best practices in this important area.

L'Arche believes that, when members of our society discover the humanizing contributions of those who are often dismissed or marginalized, and their potential to share in enriching relationships of mutuality, inclusion will happen naturally.

This outstanding resource is being used in social work programs and is being read by families, service providers, and sensitive, community-minded individuals across the country. [ $10.00 + taxes and shipping]

More Than Inclusion can also be downloaded in pdf format.

Congratulations to L'Arche for producing this publication." J. A. Nugent, Coordinator of DSW Program, Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology, Toronto. (May 11, 2005)

"This book will be widely circulated within our department and forwarded to our Provincial Resource Centre to be included in material available for loan to provincial and regional staff."
L. Sullivan, MHA, Minister (Acting), Dept of Health and Community Services, Newfoundland and Labrador." (April 13, 2005)

"[The book] is a wonderful illustration of the diversity of interests and capabilities that people with developmental disabilities demonstrate each and every day. I am sure this book will help with the goal of expanding people's understanding of people with developmental disabilities."
J. Crofford, Minsiter of Community Resources and Employment, Saskatchewan. (April 18, 2005)

"Inspirational stories of those with developmental disabilities give hope and a new vision to those who want to make Canada a better place to live. This book is a shining example of what can be accomplished by caring Canadians."
Her Excellency Adrienne Clarkson, Governor General of Canada. (May 2, 2005)

"Thank you very much for sending me a copy of More Than Inclusion. I was very moved to receive it. L'Arche has been at the forefront of the work in this area for so long that some people forget what it was like only a few decades ago when there really were very few reasonable opportunities for people with great human potential and various sorts of disabilities."
His Excellency John Ralston Saul. (April 27, 2005)
