Description
This text should be of use to Project 2000 nurses following the mental handicap branch of post-basic nursing. It covers all they need to know at an appropriate level of detail. It should also be useful for students on the CQSW (social work) course, and for occupational therapists. The contributors include parents, nurses, members of voluntary organizations, therapists and social workers. This second edition reflects the wide-ranging changes that have taken place in the philosophy of care for people with learning disabilities since the first edition was published in 1986. It describes practical means of improving quality of life for people with learning disabilities and promotes self-help. It also looks at the development of communication skills, movement and the growth of cognitive, emotional and behavioural skills.
