Customer Reviews
This book is great
The book centres around learning disabilities and the way policies and procedures have changed for the better. A lot of people do not see past the disabilities and they miss the person behind them who is a human being and deserves the best quality of life the same way the so called normal people would. This book gives you a good insight into the problems that they face and how to deal with them.
learning disability towards inclusion
excellent book for any learning disability student nurse. useful for the entire 3 years at university
Really informative...but sometimes too much?
I'm studying learning disability nursing and this is one of the books on our list. While it is mostly always really helpful and covers practically everything, sometimes I can get a little bit baffled when Bob Gates seems to go off on a tangent about something (especially in the Genetics chapter).
I would definitely thoroughly recommend it, however, as everytime I'm not sure about something, I know it's guaranteed to be covered in this book.
