Social Work with People with Learning Difficulties: Making a Difference This book explores how to embed a culture shift in mainstream services, transforming language, attitudes and practices towards delivering high-quality support for people with learning difficulties.

With up-to-date case studies, practice examples and points for reflection, this textbook is an invaluable resource for anyone studying social work or caring for individuals with learning difficulties. It provides a comprehensive understanding of how to provide effective support and make a positive difference in the lives of these individuals.
