Commissioning Clinical Psychology services for adults with learning disabilities
This guide aimed primarily at commissioners of services will also be useful to service providers, families, carers and people with learning disabilities.
17 January 2011
This guide, produced by the Faculty for Learning Disabilities, is aimed primarily at commissioners of services but we hope it will also be useful to Trusts, Social Services and service providers. We also hope it will be useful to families, carers and people with learning disabilities. It gives a description of what you can expect from us as clinical psychologists who work with adults with learning disabilities, and how you can judge whether or not our work has been effective. Our aim, as psychologists, is to promote valued, inclusive lives for people with learning disabilities; much of our work is with those with the most complex needs and this values base guides our clinical interventions.
