Abstract: This guide for literacy tutors and educators provides basic information about people labeled as having an intellectual disability, along with practical teaching strategies and tips on designing inclusive literacy programs. It also raises questions to challenge assumptions and encourage program re-examination. The first four short chapters discuss making the links among literacy, disability, and human rights; the meaning of "people with an intellectual disability"; defining literacy; and what is known about the literacy levels of people with intellectual disabilities. Subsequent chapters focus on: (1) the effects of exclusion from the mainstream, in six personal stories of the lives of people with disabilities; (2) barriers to full participation for these people; (3) specific strategies for tutors and educators; (4) components of successful programs; (5) an outline for using this guide for training; and (6) important themes, relevant readings, discussion guidelines, and print and organizational resources. A list of Canadian provincial and territorial literacy contacts and coalitions is provided. An appendix presents a guide to choosing an inclusive literacy program for people with intellectual disabilities, their families, friends, and support workers. (DB)
