Learning disability nurses need to be aware of these issues if they are to advise and support clients effectively.

Leisure has the potential to offer similar benefits as work to people with learning disabilities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
