Learning Disability and other Intellectual Impairments is suitable for health care practitioners at all levels who work with people who have intellectual impairments in their work and who wish to further develop their skills and knowledge to care for this neglected client group. \u003cp\u003eEditors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 An Introduction to Intellectual Impairment 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLouise L.
