Given the increasing shift of care from state residential services
to community-based support, this book examines the complex
geographies of family caregiving for young adults with intellectual
disabilities. It traces how family 'carers' are directly and
indirectly affected by a broad array of law and policy, including
family policy, disability legislation, and health and community
care restructuring policy. Each of these has material and
institutional effects and is premised on the discourses,
ideologies, and interactions in the state over time. Focusing on
the welfare models of England, the US and Ireland, this book
compares the welfare ideologies in each country and examines how
the specific historical, cultural, and political contexts give rise
to different landscapes of care and disability. Further, the book
explores the unique lifeworlds of family carers of young adults
with intellectual disability within the broader landscape of care
in which they are situated.
