"Caring for People with Learning Disabilities" is a practice-based
handbook with an up-to-date evidence base that challenges and
encourages carers to develop a questioning approach to care
provision. It emphasises the important relationship between theory
and practice and helps those who care for people with a learning
disability to understand fundamental aspects of clinical practice,
in order to provide safe and effective learning disability care.
Care in a range of primary and secondary care settings is
discussed throughout, with chapters on working with adults with
learning disabilities, effective communication with health and
social care teams, the importance of managing behaviours which pose
challenges, mental health issues and adults with learning
disabilities, health promotion and ethical, moral and legal issues.
Each chapter opens with key points to enhance and encourage
learning opportunities.
Contributors to this book come from both clinical practice
backgrounds and the academic world. One key government publication,
"Valuing People: A New Strategy for Learning Disabilities for the
21st Century" (DH, 2001), is central explicitly or implicitly to
deliberations.
This book aims to help readers to provide health care and
support for adults with learning disabilities build a foundation
for their interventions, and enhance their personal and
professional growth in relation to learning disability care
