A Comprehensive & Practical resource covering all aspects of working with those w/ learning Disabilities; A comprehensive and practical resource for all speech & language therapists and students, Working with Adults with a Learning Disability covers all aspects of working with this client group. Written by the author of the hugely successful Talkabout, this book covers: An introduction to learning disability; Assessment of clients and their environment; Profound and multiple disability; Augmentative and alternative communication; Social skills; Dysphagia. Each section gives the reader a theoretical background to the subject under discussion, practical suggestions and formats for assessment, a guide to intervention as well as a clear and worked-out example.
