Reviews:
"All those responsible for policy development and the provision of services for people with learning disabilities should read this book. That will not be a difficult task given that it is only 96 pages in length and has been written with commendable clarity and objectivity. If the points of constructive criticism made by MacIntyre are taken on board, we might move to a position where we have a wider range of services for people with learning disabilities that are more imaginative and realistic."

"... a clear and readable account of policy and practice in a range of learning disability services in Scotland. It provides a useful overview of the influences on current policy and a knowledgeable discussion of the elusive concept of social inclusion."
