About the History of Learning Disabilities since World War 2, 1950-2017
By Jan Walmsley
Introduction
This document tells the history of learning disabilities since the Second World War ended. This has been
a
time of big changes in learning disability policy and ideas, and, to a lesser extent, in the lives of
people
with learning disabilities and their families.
It is divided into five sections:
- The Road to Citizenship
- Changing Ideas about Community
- Specialist services or inclusion?
- Who gets a Service?
- Family Carers
It was written in 2017 for the Inclusive Archive of Learning Disability History.
