Learning Disability Practice How do services in different countries vary across the lifespan? What lessons can the different countries learn from one another?Based on the author's own experience from over thirty years in the field, this thought-provoking book offers a comparative study of services for people with intellectual disabilities in seven countries: England, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and the USA. Through the author's discussions with people with intellectual disabilities, parents and families, and those involved with services at a professional and academic level, the book provides a critical reflection on intellectual disability services across the lifespan.

Learning Disability Practice
"This could have been a triumphant book; instead it is a sober one, and far more useful for it
Based on an around-the-world tour of countries where the concepts of normalization and Social Role Valorization have been influential, the book offers a comparative account of the ways these ideas have worked out in seven different national contexts more than thirty years after their introduction."
From the Foreword by John O'Brien, The Centre on Human Policy, Syracuse University, USA
"In addition to its useful comparative approach this text demystifies and clarifies a number of complex issues."
Iain Carson, University of Manchester, UK
