Abstract

The authors make a powerful case for the benefits of people with learning disabilities taking part in performing arts, with particular emphasis on drama and dance. Examples of good practice are set alongside a review of disability arts in the wider context of debates about inclusion and human rights. A well-researched resource for professionals, carers and parents who want to know how participation in the arts can promote – or hinder – the promotion of personal choice and control for people with learning disabilities.
