'This is a helpful, practical and sensitive book written in accessible style. If you are a health or social care practitioner aiming to include people with learning disabilities in your service provision, this book is a valuable new resource. It will gently challenge you to look at your own practice and show you positive ways in which to improve it' - Dr Irene Tuffrey-Wijne (RGN, PhD) Senior Research Fellow, St George's University of London Chair, Palliative Care for People with Learning Disabilities Network 'The best feature of the book is the examples used to consolidate learning. These will help students integrate theory with their experiences of working with people in practice environments.' -Mary Dearing, Univerisy of Hull
