Becoming Human, by Jean Vanier.


This is a very interesting and humbling book. The key point is that people with learning difficulties have far more to offer than most of us have been brought up to believe.

This is a book that will shift your attitudes and kick against prejudice. Anyone who works with people in a nonverbal way will find it totally fascinating. Apart from anything else, Vanier begins to explain why people with learning difficulties have such a pure spirituality. I completely recommend it.
