Learning disability nurses in the Community Assessment and Treatment Service with the Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust have been working in partnership with service users to make care plans more personalised and meaningful. The accessible care planning project redesigns care plan's so they are original and based on an individual's likes, interests and strengths. The project has has resulted in care plans being designed in a number of different formats, for example in the style of newspapers, comic books and on an interactive touchscreen computer. The development of the care plans has also increased the participation of service users working with professionals and the team has also experienced improved completions and achievements within the care plans. The project has been recognised nationally and was shortlisted for the Learning Disabilities Nursing category at the Nursing Times awards 2012. (Original abstract)

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have significantly poorer health than the general population. A key threat to health programs for people with IDD is commitment from stakeholders, especially service organizations. The aim of this study was to explore the role disability service organizations play in promoting the best possible physical and mental health of people with IDD. To do so, this study analyzed secondary Personal Outcome Measures® data from 1,341 people with IDD in the United States using binary logistic regressions. The findings revealed that organizational supports can play a key role in promoting the health of people with IDD. By paying attention to all of these aspects of health and supports, especially discrepancies in supports, service organizations can work to counteract health disparities in those they support.

This article recommends a person-centred approach to addressing challenging behaviour among adults with learning disabilities in residential settings. Challenging behaviour is learned in the same way that acceptable behaviour is learned. In order to encourage acceptable behaviour, it is important to try to understand the underlying causes and triggers for the challenging behaviour and to understand and empathise with the service user’s point of view.
