The book presents a critical review of a five year research project which aimed at developing an empowering curriculum for visually impaired teenagers with learning difficulties. Participatory action research, with its focus on emancipation through collective, informed and democratic action, provided the necessary framework to inform, underpin and guide the change process. An important conclusion is that teenage students with multiple disabilities and learning difficulties are capable, when they are allowed, challenged and taught, of advocating for themselves, developing clear views about how they want to live, manage their lives and make informed decisions which best fit their personal needs and objectives.
