Sinopsis

"This is a comprehensive, well written and highly informative book that explores, identifies and addresses many of the issues that affect the lives of people with learning disabilities and their family. The book covers many topical and important subjects that are extremely relevant and appropriate to my students' course work."
Paul Mills, Senior Lecturer, Suffolk College
"An excellent student text with good case studies and exercises to develop students' critical thinking." Sandra Fleming, Trinity College Dublin

"impressive and comprehensive text" Mrs Jean Bell, Senior Teaching Fellow, University of Stirling

What kinds of transitions and discontinuities in their life experiences do people with learning disabilities and their families face over the life cycle?
How can people with learning disabilities and their families be helped to lead more valued, healthy and socially included lives?
How best can practitioners and others support people with learning disabilities?

This book adopts a life cycle approach in order to reveal important dimensions in the lives of people with learning disabilities and the effects upon them and their families. It tackles issues about transitions in people’s lives and how services, professionals, advocates, allies and wider communities of interest can support people with learning disabilities in achieving healthy and valued lives.

Different voices are heard in this book, but prominence has been given to the views and experiences of people with learning disabilities and their families. Each major life stage section of the book begins with one such narrative-based chapter, followed by chapters that develop practice, policy and theoretical themes that inform an evidence-based approach to supporting people.

Learning Disability is primarily aimed at student readers entering health and social care professions to work with people with learning disabilities but also appeals as a reference text to professionals and those looking for up-to-date information and ideas relating to people with learning disabilities.
