It is a unique and viable resource which is particularly timely, as recent decades have seen a significant change in the demographics and associated care and support needs of this population. The textbook is laid into four sections to provide a logical structure for the content with chapters developing key topic areas relevant to the field. The introductory section sets the overall context for the book and considers the importance of developing an understanding of intellectual disability as a core concept identifying philosophies and models of service that underpin health and social care across the lifespan. Communication as a basis for caring and the overall concept of person-centred caring in a multidisciplinary context is considered. The second section explores key concepts from birth to adulthood exploring the nature of intellectual disability, the child with intellectual disability and other related neurodevelopmental conditions. The third section explores adulthood to older age and considers specific health care needs, understanding behaviour and other fundamental concepts including mental health, ageing and palliative care. The fourth and final section explores the integration of health and social care addressing such issues as supporting and enabling families, education, employment, and sexuality and relationships. Edited by experienced and widely respected professionals, this textbook is written by international practitioners, educators and researchers who all play critical roles in working with individuals with intellectual disability and their families.Intellectual disabilities—nursingNursingAdulthoodSocial work educationOccupational therapyPhysical therapySpeech therapyLearning Disabilities NursingAdult NursingSocial EducationOccupational TherapyPhysiotherapySpeech and Language TherapyIntellectual disabilities—nursing.Nursing.Adulthood.Social work education.Occupational therapy.Physical therapy.Speech therapy.Learning Disabilities Nursing.Adult Nursing.Social Education.Occupational Therapy.Physiotherapy.Speech and Language Therapy.354.81150006Sheerin FintanDoyle CarmelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910731462203321Intellectual Disabilities3395579UNINA
