Bringing together the results of extensive UK and international surveys of over 100 teachers, school leaders and other practitioners who work with young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties (pmld), this book explores what well-being, community participation and independence mean for young people with pmld and presents the many innovative ways in which schools are working to ensure young people with pmld have lives of
value that are as rich and meaningful as possible. This book can be used as a guide, resource and inspiration for people who share their lives with young people with pmld, and concludes by asking what we can learn from these young people to support everyone in living life to the full.
