  3. 'People think that we should buy something cheap, something that they would not have in their own home. So it is OK for you to live in a fancy house with furniture you like, but you don’t think twice about putting people with learning disabilities in a hostel-type setting?'

    Shalim Ali, part of the Feeling At Home study team, wrote about the work and what drives his interest in it.

  4. I just saw this new show in London: photography by people with learning disabilities on what makes them feel 'at home'.

    The words and pictures from the 19 photographers range from the joyful to the stark.

    Like this submission that really got me - a shot of a crack in the wall. People expect others to live in places they'd hate to live.

    The show's on till May 6, Science Gallery, King's College London.

  6. I’ve been editing a story that’s about what a home means (or should or could mean) if you have a learning disability - as opposed to an institution. I was reminded of this recent photo, which says it all.

    It’s of a board outside a pub (during @ChipLitFest with @LittleTollerBooks lovely people Manni and Reuben Coe!).

    So simple yet so hard for so many to put into practice.
