This book makes a critical case for advocacy in the lives of people with learning difficulties. This can only be applauded.' - Disability & Society 'I found this book to be a thoughtful, interesting and challenging read and I would recommend it to anyone working in the field of advocacy or involved in any capacity with people with learning disabilities. It raises many questions about advocacy in all its different forms and asks those of us involved in this field to reflect on our own practice and that of our funding bodies. It also challenges and invites reflection on prevailing attitudes towards learning disability more generally and the way in which services are provided. Finally it leaves the reader in no doubt of the benefit and necessity of advocacy services, to ensure that people with learning disabilities are able to have their voices heard and their needs understood and met.' -The British Journal of Developmental Disabilities 'This is designed for advocacy practitioners and staff working in agencies who come into contact with advocacy services. It is aimed at more experienced practitioners, and service planners, who are serious about developing effective advocacy services within a social inclusion framework.' - Care and Health magazine 'This book continues to raise questions about advocacy throughout. It asks questions of those who are advocates and those who have the duty of funding such services. It is a very thoughtful and practical collection of essays on a whole range of issues and ranges, and seeks to provide, some answers. In addition to all this, it is very readable and provides a quite comprehensive bibliography, which in itself is worth the cost of the book.' - Rostrum 'Advocacy and Learning Disability is a sound collection of perspectives with an interesting international flavour. Barry Gray and Robin Jackson have collected insightful contributions from Britain, the USA, New Zealand and Australia to create a useful overview exploring a very wide range of self-advocacy issues directly related to learning disability delivery.' -The British Journal of Special Education Advocacy is a critically important element in the development of effective services for people with a learning disability. It is seen by many as the critical link between theory and practice in creating a truly inclusive society. This book presents an in-depth examination of the historical, legal and philosophical contexts within which advocacy services have developed. The kind of professional and practical issues and problems confronting those running and using advocacy services are discussed, and the role of advocacy is examined. Chapters covering advocacy with families and with people with communication difficulties contain helpful information for practitioners. A survey of the development of advocacy services in the USA, Australia and New Zealand provides an international perspective. Practical and informative, Advocacy and Learning Disability will be essential reading for advocacy practitioners and those working in agencies in the statutory and voluntary sectors who come into contact with advocacy services.

Special educators are facing new challenges at the beginning of the 21st century as public education is being reformed by a vision focusing on measurable student outcomes. The future course of the field will be shaped by the policy and programmatic responses to several issues, including demographic changes in student populations, a lack of certified special education teachers, criticism in the public media for the rising costs of services, and debates about the preferred philosophy of service delivery for students with disabilities. Additional chapters discuss university-school collaboration, charter schools, disability studies, school violence, disproportionality in placement, male African-American teachers, and ethics. This book has been written out of a context of research and program development activities with public schools over the past decade in one of the largest Colleges of Education in a diverse metropolitan area in the country. The issues selected for analysis and the perspective guiding those analyses grew out of this work and out of a national Delphi study of the views of parents and constituent organizations and leading researchers, teacher educators, and policy makers in Special Education.

The practical approach adopted in this book offers key information and guidance to health care professionals who need to create responsive and appropriate services for adults with learning disabilities. A unique feature is the provision of checklists related to each topic, which offer concise summaries of information and good practice, to back up the review of current knowledge, practice guidelines and key issues covered in each chapter. The selection of topics covered is guided by concerns voiced by adults with learning disabilities as well as service providers and professionals, and topics are not confined to academic areas but are of direct clinical relevance. They range from communication and interviewing, family aspects, parenting by adults with learning disabilities, and cultural issues, to topics such as vulnerability, consent, primary health care needs, GP assessments and examinations, hospitalisation, medication, problematic behaviour, mental health and emotional distress. This book will be of value to trainees and experienced professionals in mental health and learning disability services, and of particular interest to professionals in primary health care. "Written by and for people in the front line of care, this is certainly a timely and valuable book. Taking a multidisciplinary perspective across social science and medicine, the editors offer a wide-ranging guide to principles, practice and resources employed by professionals working in this important area of care." Bob Remington, University of Southampton "?an essential introductory guide for health and social care professionals and for the concerned lay person, which clearly explains the additional health needs of adults with learning disabilities, and provides practical checklists for action."

Learning disabilities are among the most common disabilities experienced in childhood and adulthood. Although identifying learning disabilities in a school setting is a complex process, it is particularly challenging in low- and middle-income countries that lack the appropriate resources, tools, and supports. This guide provides an introduction to learning disabilities and describes the processes and practices that are necessary for the identification process. It also describes a phased approach that countries can use to assess their current screening and evaluation services, as well as determine the steps needed to develop, strengthen, and build systems that support students with learning disabilities. This guide also provides intervention recommendations that teachers and school administrators can implement at each phase of system development. Although this guide primarily addresses learning disabilities, the practices, processes, and systems described may be also used to improve the identification of other disabilities commonly encountered in schools.

In this research review of basic issues in learning disabilities, definitions, possible causes, prevalence, and identification of learning disabilities are discussed. Characteristics of learning disabled individuals are considered under five headings: perceptual and perceptual-motor disabilities, problems with attention and hyperactivity, cognitive disabilities, social and behavioral problems, and academic disabilities. In general, the learning-disabled individual seems to be a passive, inactive learner who lacks or does not use the strategies for attacking academic problems that the non-handicapped commonly use; in addition, the learning disabled are best thought of as a heterogeneous, rather than a homogeneous, group. Several options are available for administering the education of the learning disabled. One of the most widely utilized instructional arrangements, mainstreaming, may be made more effective by the use of the Adaptive Learning Environments Model, teacher consultants, cooperative learning, and peer tutoring. Several promising, but not well-known, instructional techniques may improve education of the learning disabled; these include reciprocal teaching, self-monitoring of attention, metacognitive self-questioning training, and the keyword mnemonic technique.
