| Annotation | Choice and control are at the heart of developments for people with learning difficulties. The recent White Paper, "Valuing people: a new strategy for learning disability for the 21st century" acknowledges this in its key principles. People with high support needs (who may be labelled as having severe or profound learning difficulties and may also have physical and sensory impairments) may find themselves excluded from these developments. A report of research by James Edge and Values into Action (VIA), published as "Who's in control? Decision-making by people with learning difficulties who have high support needs", investigated how decision-making can be supported and demonstrated. These findings summarise that research. (RH). |
