Description
Understanding Learning Disability and Dementia provides essential knowledge for those supporting individuals with learning disabilities as they develop dementia. As people with learning disabilities live longer, an increasing number are now facing this challenge. To provide effective care, it is crucial that service providers, carers, and direct support staff have relevant expertise before the onset of dementia. This book addresses the needs of professionals involved in providing services, assessing need, and delivering direct care and support for individuals with both learning disabilities and dementia. It offers valuable insights into devising therapeutic interventions, coping strategies, health management, and palliative care to ensure the best possible outcomes for these vulnerable individuals. By reading this book, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to provide person-centred care that addresses the unique needs of those with learning disabilities and dementia.
