Description

Many students and trainees starting their work with people

having mental retardation find it difficult to understand the

similarities and uniqueness with which they present and the

need for good management. There are a variety of service

inputs and models to meet some of the mental health needs of

children, young people and adults with learning disabilities. The

services for such children are provided by specific Learning

Disability psychiatric teams or by challenging behaviour

teams. Generic child health and the voluntary sectors provide

some elements of the service. However, the above mentioned

services do not have a specific remit to look after all the physical

and mental health needs of children and young people with

learning disabilities and that has created a lack of coherence

in service provision. Professionals working with these children,

need a basic understanding of the needs, assessment methods

and management techniques and this book tries to address

those issues.

There is some confusion with the terminology used for this client

group. The Department of Health adopted learning disability

as the term to identify the condition of mental retardation, the

term used in the International Classification of Diseases 10th

edition ICD-10. The Department of Education uses the term

learning difficulty (Education Act 1993) and the American

literature uses learning disability to refer to the ICD-10 term

specific developmental disorders. In this book, in order to

increase consistency we will use the ICD-10 terminology.

The book is aimed to be a basic introductory book focussing on

essential theory and practice of managing learning disability

and mental health issues related to learning disability. The MCQ's

and problem solving way of presentation is designed to avoid

repetition and to help in focussed learning for examinations.
