Place reservation for Beautiful lives : how we got learning disabilities so wrongFor much of history, people with learning disabilities have been regarded as unworthy of interest, valuable only to their families, and sometimes even dismissed as barely human. Just a hundred years ago, they were regarded as a threat to the social order, to be settled as far away as possible, prevented from reproducing and, in some places, done away with altogether. And if recent years have seen improvements, they're still treated as outsiders, fundamentally different, deeply odd. 'Beautiful Lives' is a powerful examination of the public's changing attitudes and the way that this has affected people's lived realities.
