Learning Disabilities by Chris Barber

Learning Disabilities by Chris Barber

Learning Disabilities is an accessible introductory textbook that will help to improve the quality of care provided to people with learning disabilities. It is aimed primarily at non-specialist nursing and healthcare students.

This book is an excellent resource offering an introduction to learning disabilities, and I feel that everyone working in care would benefit from reading itThe 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

A well written book with interesting learning ideas that our students will benefit from. I will recommend the book to be part of our reading list for the module I lead.
