This aims to be a practical guide for all those who work in services for people with learning disabilities. It will challenge service providers to re-evaluate the implicit and explicit standards which operate in relation to sexuality and sexual expression. The editor has done significant work on aspects of sexuality and learning disabilities, and for this book, she has assembled contributions from authors in Britain, Canada and the USA.
