Description
Supporting People with Intellectual Disabilities to Have a Good Life as They Grow Older addresses a significant gap in knowledge and practice.
Growing older is a process with numerous gradual or sudden changes over time. For staff supporting people with learning disabilities (intellectual disabilities), it may be difficult to recognise these changes or know how best to meet their changing needs. This new self-study guide and training pack address a significant gap in knowledge and practice, aiming to help staff and others to improve their understanding of how growing older may affect individuals. Through knowledge content, exercises, key learning points, and video clips of older people with learning disabilities talking about their experiences of growing older, the materials will help support staff to explore how person-centred planning, good communication, building confidence, and encouraging independence can make a positive difference to individuals' lives in the key areas of emotional well-being, health, being active and involved, home life, and dying well.
