Autorenporträt
Pat Fitton's experience of profound and multiple disabilities comes from caring for her daughter Kathy, who died in 1991 at the age of twenty-seven. She has worked in several parents' groups to improve services and has campaigned to increase parental participation in planning procedures in social services and health. She has taught in inner London secondary schools since 1964 and has been involved with the integration into mainstream of children with a range of disabilities. Jean Willson's experience comes from caring for her daughter Victoria. She does consultancy work on a range of issues connected with learning disabilities, and works both locally and nationally to improve services for people with profound multiple disabilities and their carers. Carol O' Brien has been involved in developing community-based services and projects for people with disabilities, and as a freelance consultant has worked with parents and other professionals to set up a house in Camden similar to Victoria's and Kathy's.
