Learning Disability in Focus ― The Use of Photography in the Care of People With a Learning Disability

This book centers around 12 case studies in which photography was used as a visual reminder for people with learning disabilities. Each case concludes with a list of practical suggestions to assist the therapist or caregiver in how to best use photographs in various situations. The book concludes with a discussion of how these techniques could be used in a training program for a learning disabled client.
