Whole families come. Some appear with babes in arms. Clinicians named Pueschel, Crocker, Kumin, Falvey, Rosenberg, and many others hold impromptu clinics in halls, lobbies, and special session rooms. It all goes so well because these parents hunger to learn everything they can about their own child with this disability. There are sharing sessions galore for moms, dads, brothers, sisters, and grandparents. There are even sessions for persons with this disability who help one another to speak for themselves. Then come the banquets and the laughter; the awards and the cheering; and the dances, where all are dressed in their very best clothes. Many leave exhausted from these carnivals of hope, education, and comradeship, but they leave knowing that they are part of a powerful, expansive movement. One cannot help but wonder whether some earlier ‘‘big bangs’’ in history gave rise to such an expansive movement. I say yes. I can pinpoint at least two such explosions. These explosions were heart-ripping. Even so, the way the folks in this field gathered around these wounds and worked for healing was fantastic.","PeriodicalId":76152,"journal":{"name":"Mental retardation","volume":"44 6","pages":"430-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1352/0047-6765(2006)44[430:TBBTAD]2.0.CO;2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"26467018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likewise, meaningful and realistic opportunities for literacy and ongoing learning are virtually nonexistent for many people with intellectual disabilities. There is limited theoretical and practical knowledge of how adults with intellectual disabilities might maintain and/or develop literacy skills beyond school. Although we continue to refine our operational definitions of literacy (functional literacy, cultural literacy, computer literacy) and predict which skills may be necessary for success towards one’s life goals, most researchers agree on at least this one point: diminished literacy skills consistently result in a lower quality of life with fewer employment and leisure opportunities for this population (National Adult Literacy Survey, 2002). Though in some cases employers appear to be willing to hire persons with disabilities, employees need to demonstrate essential reading and interpersonal skills. Beyond the employment realm, access to literacy offers adults with intellectual disabilities increased opportunities for inclusion into local community life and culture and is a potentially life-empowering event. Experts now know that literacy is not a developmental end product but that oral language and written language are interrelated, reciprocal, and potentially lifelong learning endeavors (Teale & Sulzby, 1986). Research results suggest that for children, literacy ‘‘emerges’’ from a range of social and cultural experiences with other people and written language, including story books; magazines; handwritten lists, notes, and signs; and words on television, computer screens, and in movies. This emergent literacy (socially supported literacy interactions) facilitates both oral language and conventional literacy learning (Koppenhaver, Coleman, Kalman, & Yoder, 1991). Such literacy interactions are often highly motivating and effective contexts for social interaction, communication, and learning (Kirchner, 1991; Koppenhaver et al., 1991; Ratner, Parker, & Gardner, 1993; Watson, Layton, Pierce, & Abraham, 1994). Field reports from adult education programs consistently indicate difficulties meeting the specific needs of adults with intellectual disabilities due to a lack of community technical assistance (National Institute for Literacy, 1997). In a 1995 monograph by researchers from The Roeher Institute, the focus was on people with intellectual disabilities who sought literacy instruction. The common experiences expressed by participants interviewed included exclusion and segregation from the mainstream; the presumption of illness, discrimination, poverty, and loneliness; vulnerability to abuse; and violen","PeriodicalId":76152,"journal":{"name":"Mental retardation","volume":"44 6","pages":"443-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1352/0047-6765(2006)44[443:CLAFMF]2.0.CO;2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"26410896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
