Paula Lowe
Care Pooling is a wonderful resource for people looking for help with child care and elder care. Although this book is not specifically written for people with developmental disabilities, it is very practical resource for people who are trying to find alternative ways to support people who need help with significant medical issues.

Herb Lovett
I was in Washington, DC in 1989 when I first heard Herb Lovett speak. He revolutionized the way I think of people with disabilities. I suspect he revolutionized a lot of people's thinking. His two books are timeless. Both can be ordered from the AUTCOM bookstore. Also, check out the site developed by Tom Robinson honoring Herb by clicking here.
