This book is an excellent introduction to disability studies for undergraduate students of health and social care

Ms Carmel Bracken

A book that will allow students to gain essential skills and knowledge.

Ms liz major

very helpful when completing Diploma units about learning disabilties

Mrs Charlie Grieve

It is very important to know how to work and support people with Learning Disability with their health and social care needs. This book showing all the values and methods you can apply in such job.

Mr DANIEL OPILA

An excellent book that covers many areas that are relevant to a variety of students in a range of subjects

Mrs Karen Burton

Good sound info and advice

Mr Carl Chandra

A reasonable basic text with eclectic mix of topics. slightly lacking in critical perspective and depth. For example, putting together 3 major issues (epilepsy, pain control and end of life care) in one short chapter (9)means each are discussed very superficially and limited useful information can be gleaned from this chapter.

Mr Peter Zaagman

This book contains some useful discussions of relevant subjects in learning disability practice. The key learning points and use of scenarios and reflective prompts is particularly helpful.

Mr Dan Redfearn

This book flags up both on-going and contemporary issues around service provision for people with learning difficulties. It provides room for debate and the reader with a set of themes which need to be engaged with and perhaps questioned. This book is well written which provides an ease of access to its material for the reader.

Dr Martin Partridge

This is a good introductory text for learning disability student nurses, and is an excellent reference book for all other fields of nursing (child, mental health, and adult nurses).

Dr Ruth Wyn Williams

The chapters cover key issues in supporting people with learning disabilities, but it is the reflection points (dotted throughout the chapters) which make the reader really consider the implications of what they have read. The reflection points will be the basis of many seminar discussions.

Mrs Emma Hinch-Chambers

A thoughtful approach to issues. Helpful for understanding issues from a multi professional perspective.

Ms Sarbjit Kaur Hayre

Excellent case studies to assist in applyiong theories and contextualising strategeis

Ms Tina Duffy

An excellent text in relation to Learning Disabilities in Health & Social Care. Clear sections that look at specific issues from a variety of view points. Easy to read, and with well supported information throughout.

Mr Del Wraight

This book offers comprehensive information for individuals working in this arena. The different chapters by different authors offer differing perspectives and students will find this useful.

Mrs Nicola Meek

This is a good second year text especially useful for students specialising in this area, this will be recommended in the Sept 2012 module specification

Joanne Smith

Excellent recommended reading book.

Mrs Catherine Keller

This is an interesting and up-to-date collection of articles on health and social care as it relates to people with learning disability.
The chapters are individually well structured, and chapter 11 (Campbell & Goodman) is especially well written.
I may recommend this book as supplementary reading to individual students, but I would not recommend it as a core text. Two main criticisms:

although the book is aimed at a UK readership, the focus is primarily on health and social care in England and Wales.
