Two Sides of the Same Coin

Norma Curran explores two competing conceptions of the economic place of people with learning difficulties.

Author: Norma Curran

Instead of treating people as sub-standard, as some politicians have recently done, it is important that we see that disabled people are a powerful and positive force to be reckoned with: economically, socially and morally.
