Many practitioners within health and social care come into contact
with people with intellectual disabilities and want to work in ways
that are beneficial to them by making reasonable adjustments in
order to meet clients' needs and expectations. Yet the health and
wellbeing of people with learning disabilities continues to be a
neglected area, where unnecessary suffering and premature deaths
continue to prevail. This text provides a comprehensive insight
into intellectual disability healthcare. It is aimed at those who
are training in the field of intellectual disability nursing and
also untrained practitioners who work in both health and social
care settings. Divided into five sections, it explores how a wide
range of biological, health, psychological and social barriers
impact upon people with learning disability, and includes: Six
guiding principles used to adjust, plan and develop meaningful and
accessible health and social services Assessment, screening and
diagnosis of intellectual disability across the life course
Addressing lifelong health needs Psychological and
psychotherapeutic issues, including sexuality, behavioural and
mental health needs, bereavement, and ethical concerns. The
changing professional roles and models of meeting the needs of
people with intellectual and learning disabilities. Intellectual
Disability in Health and Social Care provides a wide-ranging
overview of what learning disability professionals' roles are and
provides insight into what health and social care practitioners
might do to assist someone with intellectual disabilities when
specific needs arise.
