In this assignment I am going to explain the definition and explore the rationale behind end of life/palliative care for people with learning disabilities. I have also chosen to use the Term “learning disabilities” as it is relevant to the UK and is the most up to date term currently in use. In addition, I have also gone into detail about the importance of research and evidence based practice.

durations converged with our previous statistically independent results to yield a model of tantrums as the expression of two independent but partially overlapping emotional and behavioral processes: Anger and Distress. Anger rises quickly, has its peak at or near the beginning of the tantrum, and declines thereafter.

(2017)Individuals with autism show significant impairments in social skills and theory of mind (ToM). The aim of the study was to evaluate ToM and social information processing abilities in 52 children with ASD compared to 55 typically developing (TD) children. A mediation analysis evaluated whether social information processing abilities can be mediated by ToM competences. In results, children with autism showed a deficit in social skills and ToM components. The innovative results of the study…
There are several models used in schools to accommodate students with special needs. Mainstreaming, pull-out, push in, and paraprofessionals are a few of the models utilized in school systems. Every method has its advantages and disadvantages, and although it is not guaranteed that there will be an increase in the achievement levels of individuals with disabilities, often times children gain something out of it, whether it be academically or socially. Mainstreaming, also known as inclusion,…
is critical being healthy. According to World Health Organisation (1946) health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity”This definition attempts to incorporate all aspects of human health by suggesting that being healthy is not limited to the absence of disease as other factors like mental and social wellbeing contribute to a person’s overall health.
