| Summary |
Photography can provide a valuable aid to the lives of people with learning disabilities: it can be used to resolve problems and improve understanding. This book explores the possibilities which photography makes available to the carers and families of people with learning disabilities |
|
The core of the book consists of scenarios in which photography is employed with people with learning disabilities as a visual reminder. Photographs can consolidate new skills and record important events and objects. The scenarios include Brian, who wanted to practise his newly-learned cookery techniques at home; Joy, who moved to a new flat; and Laura, who loved art and craft but whose work was often lost when she took it home. In each case practical problems or sources of distress were eased by an imaginative use of photography. Each scenario concludes with a list of practical points to guide the carer; and the book includes recommendations of situations where a camera could be used as an adjunct to working with people with learning disabilities |
