From augmentative and alternative communication to safeguarding, via positive behaviour support, it's full of practical detail, hints and tips. Written by a team of students, lecturers and practising learning disability nurses - this guidance is really produced with you in mind. Pocket-sized format - carry it with you at all times. Space to make your own notes - be it uniform policy, new terminology, or just the names of your new colleagues!
