Psychology for Work with People with Learning Disabilities

Psychological knowledge provides teachers with important basic elements when they work with people who have learning difficulties (so-called mental disabilities), both for understanding them and supporting them. However, the question arises as to how this knowledge can be applied in everyday life. This book comes to the rescue: based on concrete case studies, psychological basic elements are clearly explained and made accessible for working with people who have learning difficulties. The book gives readers the opportunity to get involved with the psychological findings which relate to working with disabled people and consequently make their own approach more professional.
