In this thoughtful, carefully crafted book, Belfiore and Toro-Zambrana provide step-by-step instructions to help care providers recognize the choices made by people with significant disabilities. Recognizing Choices examines the natural cues that a learner with significant disabilities gives to indicate a preference. What location does the learner prefer? What foods or beverages? Professionals--family and friends--can learn to "read the signals." The book includes a thorough "walk-through" case study, sample data-collection forms, and a check-list for each assessment stage. It is a valuable reference for everyone working with people with significant disabilities.
