Description
This book is part of a collection of 5 booklets of resource materials developed with the ARC of Massachusetts on “Making Friends”. It is designed to help individuals, families and organizations enhance skills and supports to take better advantage of opportunities for relationships between the people who get support and their co-workers—especially co-workers who do not have disabilities. In particular, a focus is on exploring and creating partnerships in the community where we all want to live and contribute as full participating citizens..
