A cat's curiosity lands him in a tight spot. Catkin slithers through the grass, creeps by the pond, and explores a rock pile. Along the way he follows the sounds of animals and insects. "Kerik-Kerik." Catkin sees something shiny and small in the thick grass. Catkin hops—but the cricket gets away. "Garrump. Garrump." Catkin sees something green and spotted. Catkin leaps—but the frog hops into the water. When Catkin hears a rustling by the tree, he climbs up to the highest branch to investigate. But it's a long, long way back down to the ground. "Meeeow. Meeeow." Now who will hear Catkin and rescue him? Author Janet Lord's simple, satisfying story of a mischievous cat features cheerful animal sounds and an entertaining seek-and-find element, all richly portrayed in Julie Paschkis's gorgeous illustrations that celebrate the patterns and shapes founds in nature.
This volume studies the implications of the right to inclusive education in human rights law for disability law, policy and practice.
This book provides an international comparative study of the implementation of disability rights law and policy focused on the emerging principles of self-determination and personalisation. It explores how these principles have been enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and how different jurisdictions have implemented them to enable meaningful engagement and participation by persons with disabilities in society. The philosophy of 'active citizenship' underpinning the Convention - that all citizens should (be able to) actively participate in the community - provides the core focal point of this book, which grounds its analysis in exploring how this goal has been imagined and implemented across a range of countries. The case studies examine how different jurisdictions have reformed disability law and policy and reconfigured how support is administered and funded to ensure maximum choice and independence is accorded to people with disabilities.
