The Extraordinary Journeys project is about people with intellectual disabilities telling their stories of institutional and community living.

The 12 stories within have many common themes. The importance of family/whanau and connectedness resonates throughout. The roles of relationships with family, friendships, culture, religion and work are also addressed.

Finally, the importance of freedom to choose one’s own path cannot be overstated. Institutional living took away this basic human need. Community living, to an extent, gave it back.
