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.
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.
