In this volume, which updates and replaces ''Day Services for People with Mental Handicaps'', ''Day Services for People with Severe Handicaps'' and ''Towards Independent Living'', case studies are presented to illustrate the functioning of community care to provide services for people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and with intellectual and multiple disabilities. Further chapters give consideration to the issues concerned with the promotion of independent living. This updated volume covers many of the issues introduced in the previous editions, whilst also examining practice in the light of the impact of new community-care legislation on service provision. It is intended for social workers, students of social work and for residential, day-care and support staff and their trainers.
