<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This practical, fully illustrated manual is packed with easy-to-run, fun activities for individuals and groups of people with intellectual disabilities who may be at risk of boredom and under-achievement. Recognising the extra restrictions which the covid-19 pandemic is placing on people in supported settings or living with families, the hands-on manual brings together a wealth of tried and tested ideas, specially designed to engage people with diverse learning, physical or behavioural needs, with or without support as needed. Each of the 52 clearly structured activities has plain English guidance to help the person to achieve, plus options to extend it further, utilising everyday resources available in most homes and other settings. The accompanying guidance, based on Adult and Community Education principles, enables support staff and others to provide fulfilling activities led by the interests and needs of the person, and to reflect on delivery of each activity and lessons learned.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Julie Thorpe</b> is the Director of Advocacy 2 Engagement (a-2-e), a social enterprise which since 2005, has successfully delivered a flexible approach to engagement, including advocacy, care, training, brokerage, paid work, and work experience.
