| Annotation | People with learning disabilities can be at particular risk of developing dementia, but special challenges can arise in trying to support them. The author describes a project to create a range of learning and multi-media resources to help improve practice and care for people with learning disabilities living with dementia. The Department of Health (DH) Innovation, Excellence and Strategic Development Fund has awarded a grant to the learning disability charity MacIntyre for this 3-year Dementia Project. (RH). |
