Model describing the two critical dimensions for empowerment and mutual respect developed by Karl Nunkoosing and Mark Haydon-Laurelut.
Karl Nunkoosing and Mark Haydon-Laurelut argue that people with intellectual disabilities cannot be empowered by people who reject them, nor by people who believe that others will reject them. The only empowering approach combines acceptance and optimism. This graphic sets out the core argument of their paper The Relational Basis of Empowerment.
