What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘The book “Transition to Retirement: A Guide to Inclusive Practice” is a world leading exemplar of a project that can address this inequality for older adults with intellectual disabilities … A strength of this manual is that it has been written alongside staff from a local charity who have implemented the Transition to Retirement project adding sound advice regarding the enablers as well as the barriers to implementing this project in practice … I would highly recommend this book to educators, researchers, commissioners and service providers and it should be on the bookshelves of everyone concerned with how adults with intellectual disabilities age in order to plan a more active and inclusive retirement.’
– Laurence Taggart * Journal of Policy and Practice in Intellectual Disabilities *’ … the book is clear and concise, and will be a useful resource for its primary audience of social care workers who provide employment support services.’
– Elizabeth Perkins * Learning Disability Practice *’ … the manual is set within the Australian context, [but] the themes and practical suggestions are transferable to other countries and cultures and, all in all, it is a good guide to have to hand.’
