It is intended to inform understanding, D i s promote assessment, assist in care planning, and especially to a b i improve everyday living for this needy but sadly often neglected li t y group of vulnerable individuals. The authors base their guidance a n on evidence, focusing on important insights that are likely to be d A valuable to the clinician interested in the care of the individuals on g e i n whose behalf the book has been prepared. g A brief general overview of the area is followed by a detailed consideration of dementia in the context of developmental dis- ability, including cause, diagnosis, assessment and natural history, with case examples. The next chapters cover two of the most high-profile of all the major groups of developmental disabilities, with their own unique patterns of ageing: Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. Other less common causal syndromes, and their char- G R E acteristics with ageing, are then reviewed. This is followed by a GO R detailed guide to drug treatment issues in this group. The final Y O chapter considers wider issues of psychosocial intervention and life ’BR IE planning for the ageing individual with developmental disability.
