Pointing to the way ahead. Health education for people with learning disabilities.
People with learning disabilities have a right to health education, and nurses working with them have ample opportunities to fulfil this role. Health education must cater for individual clients' needs, and be presented in a style and language they can easily understand. Effective communication partly depends on being able to emphasize with clients; it is important to appreciate that clients are responsible for their actions.
