Ruth Ryan & Dave Hingsburger
On a ride from a hotel to an airport, Ruth and Dave began to swap stories. As they relaxed into the conversation, what became more important than the stories were the morals—the lessons they drew from their experiences. On arrival at the airport, they had each been changed by the power of the other’s story. This book attempts to capture the sense of intimacy and honesty they shared that day. It is hoped to be a resource for new staff and a challenge to those more “seasoned.” Dave Hingsburger has worked his entire career with people with developmental disabilities, including nearly twenty years with York Behaviour Management Services, focusing on those who engage in inappropriate sexual behaviours. He is a sought-after speaker and consultant, with writings in newspapers, magazines, and journals. Dr. Ruth Ryan is a psychiatrist working full time with persons with developmental disabilities and complex needs. She has received awards for integrating persons with complex needs into communities and for research on epidemiology and unusual conditions. Both are committed to the Self Advocate Movement and work widely with people with disabilities across North America.
