| Annotation | People should be treated as full citizens, and in order to make this happen, people with learning difficulties need six different things: self-determination, direction, money, home, support, and community life. The book offers practical advice covering these topics that should be considered when helping people with learning difficulties to plan for their future. It includes examples of innovation and success, also step-by-step guides on matters such as finding a job, buying and house, and making friends. 'Keys to citizenship' was first published in 2003. A new chapter in this edition, 'Citizenship: six keys together', describes In Control and how this new way of working will give people with learning disabilities opportunities to play a fuller part in the community and have more control to be able to live their lives as equal citizens.
