Stereotyped behaviour: resistance by people with profound learning difficulties
Stereotyped behaviour: resistance by people with profound learning difficulties
The edited collection charts the course through which people with learning disabilities have become increasingly able to direct their own lives as fully active members of their communities. accounts from the UK, Australia, Canada and Iceland consider both the individual pioneers of self-advocacy and the local and national groups that have been set up to work actively towards improved services. Nind's chapter asks whether people with profound learning difficulties use behaviours that are often seen as meaningless or harmful to gain some control and to resist unwelcome demands and situations.

Abstract
The edited collection charts the course through which people with learning disabilities have become increasingly able to direct their own lives as fully active members of their communities. accounts from the UK, Australia, Canada and Iceland consider both the individual pioneers of self-advocacy and the local and national groups that have been set up to work actively towards improved services. Nind's chapter asks whether people with profound learning difficulties use behaviours that are often seen as meaningless or harmful to gain some control and to resist unwelcome demands and situations.
