Do we need to re-think our approach to choice, and giving people with learning disabilities the choices that are spoken of?

Do we need to re-think our approach to choice, and giving people with learning disabilities the choices that are spoken of?

This Housing LIN viewpoint no 88 considers whether there is a real choice if the housing solution promoted for people with learning disabilities is limited by supply?

And secondly questions whether there is real choice if we only offer one solution, thereby making an assumption about what the demand should be?

It builds on Dr Theresia Baumker’s comments made at a joint Housing LIN/HACT transforming care and housing event in July 2017 and an earlier Housing LIN guest blog: Home is where the heart is (opens new window).
