Riassunto

The growth in the number of people with learning disabilities living in the community presents a major challenge to healthcare professionals, particularly those in primary care services and specialist learning disability services. This book draws together authoritative and helpful information on key concepts, difficult issues, and practice guidelines. The inclusion of checklists on key topics offers guidance and good practice. Readers should obtain an understanding of the issues relating to adults with learning disabilities, with the added benefit of being shown how this information affects both professional practice and the service offered to the client group. The choice of topics covered in the book has been guided by both users and providers of the services and includes: family aspects, communication, primary healthcare needs, challenging needs and problematic behaviour, mental health needs and emotional distress, cultural issues, consent issues, and vulnerability issues.
