Abstract:
The thesis explores the meaning of caring in the lives of a group of people who are labelled as dependants, adults with learning difficulties. Through biographical interviews and documentary research the author examines how care for people with learning difficulties has developed over time in one local area; and the understandings people on the receiving end have of the care offered them by families and staff. The findings suggest that dependency is not acknowledged by the majority of people interviewed who present themselves as givers of care as much as recipients of care. The research identi

Abstract:
Review of the research literature on the prevalence of physical aggression in community teams for adults with a learning disability (CLDTs) suggests that services are managing people who are physically aggressive, which impacts on services. This suggests that there is a need for services to use risk assessment instruments of physical aggression to support teams to accurately identify those who will be physically aggressive to others. Established risk assessment instruments are resource intensive and so a screen, such as The Risk Assessment Protocol for Intellectual Disabilities (RAPID), develo

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the use of computer-assisted learning with people who have severe and profound learning disabilities. Theories of learning are central to our understanding of learning disability and contributions from the cognitive and behavioural schools are reviewed and related to methods of education and training for people with learning disabilities. This framework provides a rationale for understanding the premises of computer-assisted learning. A review of the literature reveals a lack of evidence for the efficacy of computer-assisted learning.

Most adults are able to take some control over where they live and are able to reflect on their migration histories, those places where they have lived and worked, and those places where they might aspire to live in the future.

For some adults, most notably those with learning disabilities, these life decisions are partially, if not wholly, made for them by others.

Abstract:
What does learning disability mean in the ‘real world’? is a qualitative sociological thesis that explores the discursive resources used by different groups of people in relation to the term learning disability. Learning disability is a term that can mean different things to different people. It is also a term that can be seen from a variety of theoretical standpoints. Indeed, the term learning disability exists within a semantic tangle of definitions, concepts, colloquialisms, politics and attitudes that is fraught with historical, social and political tensions.

Additionally, special education views dyslexia as an isolated variable, an object to assess, measure, and rehabilitate, and does not take into consideration systemic factors that may influence learning.

However, despite such legislative changes, a recent review (DOH, 2008a) candidly described that people with learning disabilities have greater need for healthcare than other people, yet have worse access to the care that they actually need and poorer health outcomes.

Abstract:
In the school district under study, students with learning disabilities were underperforming when compared to students without disabilities. Research has indicated that improved self-efficacy can promote improved student outcomes and that self- efficacy can be taught. Despite this known association, the school district under study has not provided students with such support. The current study addressed ways in which that gap may be attenuated. Guided by the framework of Bandura's theory of self-efficacy and social cognitive theory, the purpose of this study was to explore (a) whether students'

Abstract:
A learning disability (LD) is a term used to refer to a heterogeneous group of disabilities characterized by difficulty acquiring or demonstrating one or more academic skills, such as reading, writing, and mathematics (Fletcher, 2012). Learning disabilities are often identified in childhood or adolescence, but persist over the lifespan (Gerber, 2012). There is a small, but growing body of literature that has examined the experiences and outcomes of adults with LDs (e.g., Gerber, 2012; Nalavany, Carawan, & Sauber, 2013; Wilson, Armstrong, Furrie, & Walcot, 2009). This literature has neglected

Abstract:
Recent research has begun focusing on the connections between reading and mathematics. Little research, however, has examined connections between mathematics and other reading related skills, such as spelling. Moreover, working memory may a play a significant role in both systems. Results indicated a significant predictive relationship between spelling and mathematics. Furthermore, this relationship was found to be partially mediated by measures of phonological working memory.
