| Annotation | Just like everyone else, people with learning disabilities (PWLD) are living longer. This means that there are new considerations to be made by professionals and services working to support them. However, it is also important to remember the PWLD are a broad group of people with differing abilities and needs, and there are many different issues that need to be considered. These considerations are a challenge which - despite having known that this situation was approaching for more than a decade - as a society we are only just beginning to recognise and respond. The author thinks that her article is likely to raise more questions than she will answer, but that recognising the issues is the first step towards developing a response. (RH). |
