title: Adventurous outdoor activities: a review and a description of a new service delivery package for clients with learning difficulties who have behaviours which challenge services or society.
abstract: The purpose of this paper is to describe the need for and the creation of a new service delivery package for the client with learning difficulties whose behaviour challenges services or society, or who is a 'victim of the system', and not responding to available resources. Adventure-based courses are delivered in a context of supportive therapy which effects measurable change. There is continuing research-based evaluation of this new approach which will be reported in due course.
