This book's approach is both normative and descriptive.  Its chapters give a heart-felt defence of inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in university.  They also offer a detailed look at universities, specifically in British Columbia, Canada, but also drawing comparisons across the world, where segregation has stopped being the norm, and 'authentic inclusion' is a daily practice.  The book coins the phrase 'authentic inclusion' to represent inclusion that is not segregated, or paternalistic, in its approach to disabled students.  Authentic inclusion happens when students attend courses, take part in campus life, and follow career paths just like other students.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is underpinned by the authors' academic and practical expertise, working with STEPS-forward BC, a non-profit organization advocating for the right of people with intellectual disabilities to learn in universities.
