Synopsis

Learning Disability Today was first published in 2007 to meet the need for a handbook which, while well-grounded in the latest research and practice, was accessible for staff occupying a wide range of roles. The fourth edition is a complete revision, aiming to address key knowledge requirements, challenges and concerns for people working in the field and to provide opportunities for reflection and continuing professional development. Case studies throughout help readers to explore how best to address issues in practice.

Valuable for professionals, service managers, families and voluntary supporters, as well as students of intellectual disability, this is an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to some of the key issues in the lives of people with learning disabilities, and the everyday practice of those who support them.
