A very special challenge

Jane Reynolds

People with sensory impairment in addition to their learning disabilities (mental handicap) have all too frequently been ignored by service planners. Many of these people still live in long-stay hospitals; and there is a very real risk that unless more attention is focused on their very special ised needs, they will continue to receive inappropriate services. The following article is an edited version of a talk given at a conference organised by CHANGE (The Council for People with Learning and Sensory Disabilities) at Church House, Westminster, 2 December 1991. It outlines the issues facing policy makers and service providers and the need to direct attention to an often neglected client group.
