Recensioner i media

This book is an excellent resource offering an introduction to learning disabilities, and I feel that everyone working in care would benefit from reading it. The simple logical structure and layout, along with the tone, make for easy reading, whether in one go or for quick reference to a particular topic. I will be recommending this to my peers and my university. The concept is excellent, particularly as student nurses are expected to experience all fields yet this exposure can be limited.Adult nursing student, University of Wolverhampton
