This book reminds us that these individuals and their support workers can benefit from engaging in more mindful and reflective practice with regard to everyday discourse.”  (\u003ci\u003eBritish Journal of Learning Disabilities\u003c\/i\u003e, 7 August 2013)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eVal Williams\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Research Fellow at the Norah Fry Research Centre, University of Bristol, UK – a leading centre for research into services for people with intellectual disabilities based on a social model of disability. Her work concerns the barriers faced by adults with learning disabilities, with particular emphasis on inclusive research and analysis of naturally-occurring communication.  For people with intellectual disabilities, effective communication presents a special set of challenges. Despite moves towards ‘personalization’ in social care, large gaps exist between policy rhetoric and practice. How can we support people with intellectual disabilities on a day-to-day basis in ways that increase their power and control? What does effective participation mean in the real world?  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisability and Discourse\u003c\/i\u003e helps to bridge the actual and perceived differences that exist between people with and without intellectual disabilities. By analysing ‘real life’ encounters between people with intellectual disabilities and those who work with them, Val Williams provides illuminating insight into the subtle ways in which people are treated in routine conversations. Her original research identifies empowering practices, and reveals the ways in which individual voices are linked to a ‘collective voice’. Situations are also explored in which people with intellectual disabilities are empowered to have a voice in their own affairs, in policy-making, and in research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt once illustrating the practical value of Conversation Analysis and increasing its scope to influence practice, \u003ci\u003eDisability and Discourse\u003c\/i\u003e offers a powerful voice for people with intellectual disabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e  ‘An exciting and innovatory book, rooted in an informed awareness and concern for the interests and rights of the subjects of study, through a focused analysis of how conversation and participation is realised and maintained in everyday contexts.
