We found that Families usually want to know the cause of the disability and to be able to give it a name. Sometimes they want to know whether other people in the family will have babies who will have a learning disability. Genetic research is a way for families to find these things out. Families have to balance how they care for people who have a learning disability and what other family members need. Many professionals working with individuals with intellectual disability are unconcerned with why someone has the impairment. Genetic aspects may be viewed as, at best irrelevant, but more often, potentially negative. However, where the intellectual disability may be inherited, ther...

Its innovation lies in embedding clinical input directly in the support model, creating interdependent partnership working across agencies and developing frontline staff to become highly skilled practitioners.

The study looked at the good things about the team and things that could be better. We found that the team helped the services to support people in a different way, so that there were fewer behaviours which were hard to manage. This article evaluates an assertive outreach team which aimed to help support people with a learning disability who displayed challenging behaviour in their own environment. The service was evaluated using Maxwell's Multi-dimensional Quality Evaluation Model (Maxwell 1984), which recognises that different stakeholders in a service are likely to focus on different indices of quality including effectiveness, efficiency, economy, equit...

Data was collected by focus group (n = 3) and semi-structured interviews (n = 5). Participants saw their key role as maximising quality of life, identified 'Trial and error' as the main mode of skill development for new staff and experienced stress as a result of conflict between their beliefs and demands of the service. Participants recognised their responsibility to model good and challenge poor practice; however, poor communication and assertiveness skills affected their ability to do this. A preference for more on site supervision to provide leadership was indicated. Training by the community learning disability team was highly regarded; howeve...

This paper looks at an example of work done with an individual and his staff team which helped reduce challenging behaviour and provided him with an improved service and better quality of life. The research indicates the importance of people with learning disabilities who have challenging behaviour receiving behaviour support to enable them to live full lives in the community. Research has indicated that challenging behaviour leads to placement breakdown and poor quality of life for people with learning disabilities. This paper provides a case study example of successful intervention with an individual with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour, us...

Contraception is the things people use to stop a woman from getting pregnant. We spoke to 23 women with learning disabilities and 162 doctors wrote to us. Sometimes women with learning disabilities made their own decisions, but mostly it was other people who decided for them. We suggest some ways to help women with learning disabilities get more information and be helped to decide for themselves. This research project used semi-structured in-depth interviews to ask women with learning disabilities about the experience of being prescribed contraception. It also asked general practitioners about their prescribing practices through a postal survey. A service user group was involved at different stages of the project. Most of the women reported that it was...

If parenting support is seen to be helpful, more funding may be available for future support. There has been a steady increase over the last 20 years in the number of parents with learning disabilities who are referred to social workers and community health practitioners. It is a common experience for parents with learning disabilities to have their child removed from the home and placed permanently in care, and although they are often judged as inadequate parents, it is known that they can be good enough parents when provided with parenting support. This article reports the development of a tool to measure the self-efficacy of parents with learning disabilities, which wi...

We know it is difficult for people to talk about death and we know that it can be very difficult to talk to a person with a learning disability about death. We talk about how we worked with this lady and her carers to help her to cope with her mother's death. We worked with this lady for eight sessions during 3 months. This case study considers the psychological assessment, formulation and treatment of Hannah, a woman with a learning disability who recently experienced the death of her mother. Death still remains a challenging and often taboo subject. Moreover, when the grief is of a person with a learning disability, this combines with underlying difficulties in understanding the emotions of dea...

We've made an easy checklist to help them know when to ask for extra help. We hope it will speed up finding out whether people have dementia so we can offer the best help possible. It seems to be really useful and we'd like to do more research in the future. The aim of this research was to develop a simple screening checklist to help carers and professionals know when to make a referral for a dementia assessment. A checklist was completed for all new referrals to a dementia service for people with intellectual disabilities. The obtained scores were compared to the diagnostic outcome of a comprehensive dementia assessment. The data (n = 1...

The defendant does not by law have the right to an intermediary; however the Coroner's and Justice Bill (2008[ndash]09), is attempting to amend this situation. Meanwhile judges are starting to request an intermediary for vulnerable defendants, in the interests of justice. Using a mixed methods approach this study found that intermediaries were very positive about the need for vulnerable defendants to have support. The intermediaries also highlighted that they required additional training and they raised concerns about how their role was viewed by the courts when they were assisting defendants.

In particular, the issues raised reflected the need to increase social inclusion and provide the right level of support. Participants talked about service providers needing to be aware of their vulnerability and wanted people to respect their right to make their own choices.

In recent years there has been a shift to recognise the needs of siblings and a growth in sibling support largely for under 16s. However, siblings will often require support into adulthood as they undertake additional responsibilities from parents in the care or advocacy of their brother or sister. Therefore this project aimed to investigate what concerns young adult siblings have for the future and what support they feel they need to develop and improve support for this sibling age group. The findings from interviews with young adult siblings of young people attending a 52 week residential school for people with complex needs highlighted many concerns for the future, particularly around the tr...

This approach implies that diagnoses cannot distinguish between general reading difficulties and dyslexia and educational support is the same for both groups. The article confronts this 'anti-labelling approach' by reflecting on life experiences of people with dyslexia. By doing this it confronts certain stereotypes associated with dyslexia to develop a meaningful response to the label of learning difficulties. Despite recent advances in understanding dyslexia as a neurological condition, a number of academics in both the United Kingdom and United States have dismissed the validity of this impairment. The key thinking behind this approach is twofold. Firstly, individuals labelled as having dyslexia cannot be separat...

Carers attended training about communication. The training improved the carers' confidence about communication. Carers with good communication skills can have a positive effect on the well-being of people with learning disabilities. Carer communication skills contribute to the well being of individuals with learning disabilities. Few studies have examined the effectiveness of communication training interventions, and there is a lack of robust measures of outcome. A communication self-efficacy measure relevant to carers supporting adults with learning disabilities was developed and piloted. Paid carers supporting adults with learning disabilities participated in the study. A pre[ndash]post intervention study design was used to examine ...

Staff do not use pain recognition tools or communication aids. Some staff still believe that people with learning disabilities have a higher pain threshold than people without a learning disability. They also let this belief affect how they manage pain. This research matters to people with learning disabilities. It is important that staff and carers recognise and manage pain well. We have developed a pain training pack for staff and carers and leaflets for both people with learning disabilities and staff and carers. This audit investigated residential staff beliefs a...

Very few people take legal action or go to court about the unfair treatment they experience. It can be difficult for a judge to decide if treatment is unfair if, e.g., a sports centre gives free carer's tickets to some disabled people but not to others. It is easier for a judge to decide treatment is unfair if a person with learning disabilities has been refused something. For example, if someone was refused a tattoo even though other customers were not refused. Despite evidence of poor service provision for people with learning disabilities in the UK (e.g. DRC, Code of practice. Rights of access: services to the public, public authority functions, private clubs and premises. London:...

They have interesting and moving stories to tell about their lives. They talked about their childhood and current lives, their likes and dislikes, their strengths and difficulties and their hopes and dreams. They also spoke about the important people in their lives. The participants did not talk about themselves as being 'old', 'disabled' or as having 'Down's syndrome'. They talked about themselves in other ways, such as being 'normal', being a 'man' or a 'beautiful lady'. The researcher learnt about herself whilst doing this study. She learned about the value of taking time to listen to people and she reflected on her own life story. This ...

Prevalence rates of mental health across the UK and in other countries have been published but such figures are not known in Northern Ireland. This study found: 33.3% of the sample was identified to have a potential mental health problem. This sample was found to score higher on the sub-scales of depression and psychosis compared with other prevalence studies. The community informants (i.e. nurses and social workers) were found to be competent in using the Mini PAS-ADD Interview as identified by the sample of in-depth psychiatric interviews undertaken by a psychiatrist. Prevalence rates vary considerably regarding...

More research needs to be done to find better ways of helping people who harm themselves. Estimates suggest that up to one quarter of people who have a severe learning disability engage in self injurious behaviour (SIB). SIB poses serious risks, both to the person's physical health and their quality of life. Behavioural approaches have made a contribution to supporting people who engage in SIB, although the last review of these approaches was completed in 2001. The current study provides an update to this review, and has considered papers published over the last 10 years. A systematic search of peer reviewed journals and the 'grey' literature identified 34 relevant documents, the majority of which were single case studies...

It needs money and resources to make it work. It has worked well for some people but others have had some very bad experiences as a result of how the policy has worked. This has led to these people not being included, and this is something that nobody intended to happen. We make some suggestions of how things could be improved, so that the aims of Valuing People can be met. The paper examines aspects of the implementation of Valuing People by focusing upon four case studies of people, which are representative of a greater number of referrals to an organisation providing support for people with learning disabilities. It shows that despite many positive aspects of the policy,...

This exploratory study employed a life history approach, involving six young people with mild intellectual disabilities, aged 18[ndash]25 years, and two waves of responsive interviews. First interviews explored participants' life roles, relationships and goals. Second interviews focused on the process of negotiating autonomy within the family. Three approaches to negotiating autonomy within the family were identified: defiant, passive and proactive. The particular approach taken by each participant was associated with the level of congruence between their perceived and desired levels of autonomy...

This can happen when you have a direct payment, and you have your own personal assistant (PA). But you need to have a good PA, who knows how to communicate well. Two people with learning disabilities worked in the research team on this project. The team made videos of people with learning disabilities working with their PAs. It is important that the PA knows how to support you well. For instance, they should treat you with respect. This means that you can tell them what to do. They should talk to you like an adult, and listen to what you want. They should not rush you. A good PA will remind you that you've got a choice. They will help you be in control of your choices, but they won't force you to make a choice. PAs sometimes have to give you...

Teaching praxis is based on small child's normal psychological development and behavioral analytic tradition. Ten years ago children diagnosed as having severe/profound intellectual disabilities were allowed to attend and study in Finnish comprehensive schools. The nationwide intensive developmental work for creating a curriculum for this group of students began earlier, in the 1980s.The aim of this study was to discover what types of models of curriculums and which teaching methods are currently in use. The reason for this was the lack of recent research in this area, and the current strong emphasis on developing quality education for this grou...

We asked some people with intellectual disability, some family and some staff about what depression is like and what sort of things led to depression in people with mild intellectual disability. The people we talked to told us that there are lots of things that might show that a person is depressed. For example, they may not want to do things, they may want to be by themselves, they may have tantrums or even hurt themselves. They also said there were lots of things that could help, like having good friends and having people to help them. Most people said it would be good if staff knew more about depression and could teach people how to cope with feelin...

The Special Visual Assessment Clinic (SVAC) is an optometry led multi professional service delivered in a Resource Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The study, which included user and carer input in its design, involved people with a learning disability (15), their family carers (21) and staff (12) in interviews, group discussions, completion of checklists and clinical audit. Findings revealed that prior to the SVAC taking place there was limited awareness of vision related problems amongst all these groups. Following assessment and corrective treatment which, in the main included the provision of glasses, there was a heightened awareness of visual need...

We wanted to know if we could pick up these health needs by inviting people to a regular clinic We found that by coming to the clinic to have their health checked, some people found out about a health need that they might not have known about otherwise. People with Down syndrome have a greater risk of developing a range of health problems, including cardiac problems, thyroid disorders, sensory impairments, reduced muscle tone (hypotonia) and Alzheimer's disease. Despite this increased risk, regular screening is not typically offered to individuals with Down syndrome. A multidisciplinary health screening clinic was set up by a Community Learning Disability Team in Fife to off...

The study uses oral history to empower people with learning disabilities to tell their stories in their own words. I believe that it is important for oral histories to be accessible for people with learning disabilities. So I used a new form of history-making, digital storytelling/histories, to produce a DVD using text, sounds and images. This research is important for people with learning disabilities because it explains how traditional oral history techniques can be used with new media technology to create collaborative, meaningful and accessible publications.

There were 252 referrals between 1995 and 2005 but only 127 cases were closed. Over a third of the people being referred had behaviour problems. There were more people with autism referred in the second half of the 10 years. A fifth of the people who were referred only found out they had a learning disability when they were aged 16 or over. People with learning disabilities often have health problems but these were often not mentioned when people were referred. This research matters to people with learning disabilities because it is important to know what problems people have and what help they need. In order to understand better the needs of clients and to inform the del...

They felt their lives had improved and were more fulfilled as a result of being part of their self-advocacy group. It is important that people know how self advocacy groups help people with intellectual disabilities. A phenomenological methodology was used to explore the lived experiences of belonging to a self-advocacy group for people with intellectual disabilities. Thirteen persons with intellectual disabilities who attend three self-advocacy day centre based groups in a city in the west of Ireland were the sample identified for the study. Changes affected by self-advocacy group membership occurred in the day centres the self-advocating participants attended. In addition being a membe...

All 15 Health Boards in Scotland were reviewed, using a set of quality indicators. Details of the planning and support arrangements are reported. The success of the initiative was evaluated. This involvement of people with learning disabilities as reviewers of NHS services has tested traditional assumptions and challenged the power imbalance in patient-provider relationships. Recommendations are made for the future success of similar schemes. Reducing health inequalities is a key priority for the Scottish Government. Health authorities are expected to ...

But we do not know how much effort it actually takes. If we want to help the parents, it is good to understand what it is they need to do and how much time that takes. We asked parents with what basic care tasks they had to help their child. And how much time that took them. We also asked parents if they had help from friends and relatives. We also wanted to know if professionals could really help to make the lives of parents a bit easier. There were 133 parents who answered all those questions. What they told us was important. They said: Our children are very dependent on us. We have to help them with getting up, getting dressed, eating and drinking, and so on. And that will never ...

The group ran for 8 weeks and there were five adults who came to the group. The group helped people to share their feelings and experiences to help them cope with their bereavement. Following evidence based literature, the Birmingham Clinical Psychology Service for People with Learning Disabilities ran a Loss and Bereavement Psychotherapy Group. The group consisted of five adults with mild learning disabilities, who met for 8 consecutive weeks. This paper reports the process of setting up a bereavement group for people with learning disabilities, detailing the development of session plans and structure of the group. The authors encourage allied health professionals to consider setting up similar groups within the...

Parents and caregivers were also interviewed and, when the child had little or no speech, he or she was observed in both settings. Pictures and schedules were used to prompt the children but using them, or allowing parents to interrupt, sometimes made it difficult to be sure that the children's views were completely their own. It was also important to use questions that meant something to the children. The children were generally happy with their life at home. Those who went for short-term breaks liked some activities and individuals, but some did not like the noise and the rules. Children with autism spectrum disorders (10 boys and 4 girls a...

Physiotherapy by carers is often not completed. Carers have lots of work to do with patients and physiotherapy is often a low priority for them. Interviews with carers showed that they want more follow-up and support from physiotherapists. Through the use of face-to-face interviews, this article explores residential carers' perceptions and understanding of a physiotherapy service provided to patients with a learning disability, with the aim of highlighting potential areas for improvement in the service. Carers involved in the study reported a good relationship with the physiotherapists, possessed a clear understanding of physiotherapy, and made positive commends regarding tra...

Practicing crossing the road in the classroom with photographs of the outside road helped a young disabled child improve his road safety skills. Improved road safety skills helped the child to be more independent and aware when crossing roads. This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of a classroom based learning programme in the acquisition of road safety skills. The participant, a child with severe learning disabilities, was taught road safety behaviours in the classroom with the aid of photograph cards. When he had mastered these skills in the classroom, he returned to the outdoor environment and showed higher levels of road safety competence than before the classroom training. The study also describes the gen...

Some of the mothers felt they could sometimes help with their children's behaviour and this helped with feelings of stress. Professionals helping people with intellectual disabilities who hurt themselves need to listen more to what their families think and feel. Mothers' attributions of self injurious behaviour (SIB) in their children with intellectual disability have been largely ignored. However, attributions may predict maternal well-being and engagement in treatment. Thirteen mothers of people who self-injured were recruited. A qualitative design was employed, the data being subjected to thematic analysis according to Braun & Clarke'...

A questionnaire was designed for the purposes of this study and distributed through a number of routes to attempt to reach all learning disability practitioners interested in systemic work. Two key recruitment routes were through electronic member lists of professional associations. Because of their data protection policies it was not possible to calculate response rates. In total 14 services took part, providing information regarding 55 clinicians who use this approach in learning disability services. A range of formats and therapeutic models under the umbrella of systemic therapy were in evidence. Training levels varied widely as did the use of technical r...

It summarises the accounts of 12 new trainees who used the technique while working as volunteers with abandoned, special needs children living in state care in Romania. The comments of the volunteers showed that they could identify improvements in the children's communicative abilities once they began to use Intensive Interaction. For example, the children looked at them more often, they were calmer, and they were more likely to turn the interactions into games. The volunteers' comments also made it clear that they felt closer to the children as a result of these changes in the interaction st...

We wanted to know how teachers and support workers work together to make leaving school easier for young people with learning disabilities. Also, what do teachers think should be the next step for young people? Many young people want a job but when we asked teachers and support workers they said most people go to college and do not get a job. We asked teachers why this happens.

Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of consecutive admissions over a 5.5-year period were recorded using a questionnaire. Key differences in psychiatric diagnosis, residence type and discharge destination were found between individuals using generic and specialist provision. Length of stay was significantly longer for specialist unit admissions. Admissions to the specialist unit were significantly more likely to reside with family prior to admission and admissions to generic units were significantly more likely to come from 'other' forms of residence such as hostels, pris...

One hundred and nineteen staff who attended the training were asked what they thought about it. Staff said they found it very useful because the trainers themselves had a learning disability. We also asked the trainers what they thought about being a trainer and they told us they have all learnt new skills. We want to tell people about the importance of training like this so that more people with a learning disability are helped to become trainers, and because staff and the public can learn a lot from them.

Initially it did not work because there were too many different people doing too many different things. Support was much better once the support team was smaller. With the additional support of her family and advocate, Christine has been able to successfully look after her children at home. Christine lives with her three children, Elizabeth, George and Louise. Following the unexpected death of her husband in December 2001, she has been offered practical support into the home, so that she can continue to look after her children.

Some women with learning disability like to dress in men's clothes or want to be men. We found that many people like this had mental health problems. Some people were abused when they were children. Some people were gay. They were not happy about this. Many people could decide for themselves what support and treatment was best for them, but some people couldn't. We aimed to determine the characteristics of people with learning disability who cross-dress or who have gender dysphoria.

Each person taking part in this study told their health story and set themselves health targets. Some of the things they learnt were: what to do when they are in pain; how to make appointments with the doctor; and how to make their needs clear when they are in the doctor's surgery. This research is important in helping people feel more confident when they visit their doctor, and in making it more likely that they are able to stay healthy. The health of people with learning disabilities is poor when compared with the general population but this difference is not reflected in higher rates of access to primary healthcare.

We found out that: Trained staff could do the signs better than untrained staff. Staff who had been taught liked the different ways of teaching that we used. Only a few staff used the signs a lot when they were communicating with people. To contribute to increasing the quality and quantity of communication between staff and adults with intellectual disabilities, training was undertaken to enhance the awareness and knowledge of signing as a method of communication. Multidisciplinary team members, residential and day centre staff were trained to use 20 core signs. Training methods empl...

Other studies found that care stuff often think that it is not okay for people with learning disabilities to have relationships. Studies have also found that staff do not think that it is okay for men to have relationships with other men. This study found that: Staff in the community were more likely than nursing home staff to think that it was okay for people with learning disabilities to have relationships. Staff with more training were likely to think that it was okay for people with learning disabilities to have relationships. Nursing home staff were less likely to think that it was okay for men with learning disabilities to have relationships with other men. The r...

We worked with mothers with learning difficulties and family support workers to create a programme, the ASLP, to help mothers achieve their goals to get out and about in the community. This programme involves mothers meeting, talking and learning together over a 12-week period. Mothers also receive one to one support to work on their individual goals. We tested the programme with 32 mothers and most mothers achieved their goals and now feel better about themselves and more confident about being in the community. This programme is now available for other service workers to use to support mothers with learning difficulties in their communities. Mothers...

Nursing staff and two children were also interviewed. Five themes were identified as having a significant impact: (i) child, carer and staff anxiety, (ii) preparedness for the admission, (iii) difficulties managing the child's behaviour, (iv) carer presence during the admission and (v) ward environment. This study presents edited responses from children, their carers and ward staff and identifies areas for service improvement. These include an emphasis on the value of emotional support, ensuring staff are prepared for hospital admission, agreeing strategies for supporting the child's behaviour, clarifying carers and staff roles during an admission, ensuring the ch...

She tells us how art therapy helped her to think about her feelings. She also tells us why the relationship with the art therapist was important. This paper matters because there may be other people with learning disabilities who would find art therapy helpful too. This paper explores the aims and purpose of long term art therapy. This is done by focusing on the experience of a woman with learning disabilities whom we have called Isobel White (pseudonym). In this paper we set out a theoretical context and then consider key aspects of the therapy process. We have included excerpts from reflective discussions between the three authors.

It compares the experience of sex offenders with and without a learning disability through the experience of a man who has been called Sam. It is much harder for an offender with learning disability to finish the programme. Different types of learning disability need different approaches. It will be much harder for an offender with learning disabilities to be released from prison because of changes in sentencing. This article discusses some of the clinical and practical issues in relation to sex offender treatment in prisons and compares, through the experience of one offender who has been called Sam, how the experiences may differ between offenders with and without learning disabilities.

Some people who live in group homes are not allowed to be private with their partner. We will explain how this makes us feel. We will say what should change. Parts written in 'bold' font are in plain English. Read them to find out more. Many residential group settings for people with learning difficulties do not provide individuals with the private space in which they can explore their sexual relationships in a safe and dignified manner. Lack of agreed private spaces seriously infringes the individual's human rights. Many people with learning difficulties who lack privacy have no other option but to escape to isolated public or semi-private spaces to be sexually active. This places individuals at risk. It is suggested that self-advocacy ...

For example, they might talk too quickly or they might use sentences that are too difficult. They might also miss what a person with learning disabilities is trying to say. We think residential services should make video recordings of staff and people with learning disabilities talking to each other so they can see how this happens. Videos could make staff better at offering choices and understanding what people think about things. Making video recordings needs to be done carefully; staff and people with learning disabilities should be able to say they don't want to be recorded. In this paper we argue that video recording of actual practice should be a central tool for organisation...

Sometimes people aren't given a choice about the treatment they have at the dentist. We worked with somebody to help them feel better about going to the dentist. People can copy our work to help other people feel better going to the dentist. Dental anxiety is a common form of anxiety problem, and research suggests that more people with learning disabilities experience dental anxiety than in the general population. Very little work has been done to investigate effective non-medical approaches for supporting people with a learning disability and dental anxiety to access dental care. This has created a significant barrier to accessing treatment, and meant that individual's are not offered a meaningful choice between treatment options. Using ...
