This book is a practical guide that examines how to move away from segregated services for people with learning difficulties to a service based on individual needs. It outlines the progress of the Changing Days project, a partnership between the King's Fund and the National Development Team, which was launched in December 1994, based on the belief that people with learning difficulties have the ability to become full members of their local community. The book highlights examples of current good practice. It also provides information on how to develop new opportunities for people with learning difficulties within employment, education and the local community. It is of particular interest to purchasers and providers in the field as well as individuals and user groups who depend on the current provision of day services.
