Description: "For too long people with intellectual disabilities have been shut out of most societies around the world, or more accurately, they have been shut in - forcibly confined in mental institutions, quietly hidden inside their families' homes, isolated from public view as much as possible, and prevented from achieving the full potential that any human being inherently enjoys. Invisible No more rights this wrong."--Back cover.
