Rezensionen

"This thought-provoking text is aimed at practitioners,those who engage in everyday conversation with individuals withintellectual disabilities and researchers who employ conversationanalysis (CA). This book reminds us that these individualsand their support workers can benefit from engaging in more mindfuland reflective practice with regard to everydaydiscourse." (British Journal of LearningDisabilities, 7 August 2013)

'An exciting and innovatory book, rooted in an informedawareness and concern for the interests and rights of the subjectsof study, through a focused analysis of how conversation andparticipation is realised and maintained in everyday contexts.Carefully conceived, and fundamentally important.'
--Len Barton, Emeritus Professor of InclusiveEducation, University of London, UK

'The first book-length account of working with people withintellectual disabilities, at the fine grain of interactionaldetail. The distinguishing feature is the reliance not onsecond-hand data or observational anecdote, but on rigorousanalysis of what actually happens. This ought to have immediateappeal to practitioners.'
--Charles Antaki, Professor of Language andSocial Psychology, Loughborough University, U
