Finding carers

Its worth asking at the school/ nursery/ college/ centre the person you care for attends if you could put up a notice. There may be staff, students or volunteers that know your loved one interested in extra work, especially during holidays. It worked for me.
Good Health Care for All

The Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities has published a booklet for people with learning disabilities, family carers and supporters about how to get the best out of the NHS. Good Health Care for All (6.4 MB)
A gentle approach

Remember to keep positive and offer praise. Even if that's not your gut reaction. Our son used to poo behind the sofa. Realising this meant he was not using his nappy and choosing somewhere private was actually a step in the right direction.
