People with learning difficulties are a high priority for service providers and commissioners alike. But services tend to be segregated, and few incorporate the principles of individual choice and community inclusion. This publication explores how services can change to help this client group access the lifestyles of their choice. It offers practical guidance to help providers offer truly person-centred services, resulting in a better quality of life for people with learning difficulties. It includes an easy-to-read summary for user committees and self-advocacy groups. It is the last of four publications in the King’s Fund’s Changing Days series.
