The Caroline Walker Trust's long-awaited revised guide, "Eating Well for People with Learning Disabilities," is an essential resource skilfully designed to support caregivers, healthcare professionals, family members, care home managers, caterers, dietetics, nutrition and nursing students. It provides the tools needed to deliver better nutritional care for people with learning disabilities. Good nutrition is vital for improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities. This guide shows you how to put it into practice. Those supporting people with learning disabilities are at the frontline of care. They shape daily lifestyle habits that have a direct impact on their health. Yet, nutrition education in this area has been limited for too long. Adults with a learning disability, on average, die 20 years younger than the general population and avoidable deaths are double the rate compared to the general population. Avoidable deaths include conditions such as constipation, dysphagia and cardiovascular disease. They're also at greater risk of nutrient deficiency, and often, malnutrition screening tools are underused, delaying early intervention. Additionally, there is a lack of tailored food environments that adequately meet their needs. Better nutritional care can make a positive difference to these outcomes. Now, with our expertly written guide, you will have the tools to enhance the nutritional intake for individuals with learning disabilities. This guide fills the gaps by providing evidence-based advice for those without specialist knowledge. It skilfully summarises the current evidence on the nutritional needs of children, young people and adults with learning disabilities. This book offers straightforward, practical nutritional guidelines to promote healthy eating by examining issues related to nutritional health, food choices, and balanced eating habits. This resource will help you deliver safer, more effective, and more compassionate nutritional care. It offers expert advice to alleviate mealtime anxiety and address sensory sensitivities. Ultimately, the guide will help you to create more supportive food environments. In turn, it will also help to reduce pressure in the broader healthcare system.
