Although the current trend is focused on “treatment in the community”, at times this is no longer a viable option and inpatient treatment becomes a necessity. The model of inpatient care for people with learning disabilities could vary from utilization of generic services (Nolan et al., 1992: Singh et al., 1994) to being admitted to specialist LD units (Xentidis et al., 2004). The recent Government document “Valuing people” (Department of Health, 2001) advocates the principle of people with learning disabilities accessing mainstream services with the support of the specialist learning disability teams. The advantages of these service users receiving treatment in general psychiatric inpatients units include lack of discrimination and stigmatization (Chaplin, 2004) and perhaps accessing a service which is more local and closer to home. The potential lack of an appropriate peer group leading to rejection, isolation and at times exploitation of this vulnerable group of individuals (Kwok, 2001), the unsettled environment, lack of staff skills in communicating and identifying signs and symptoms of mental illness (Bouras and Holt, 2001) as well as negative attitudes of the staff are some of the disadvantages. Inappropriateness of a busy, noisy environment and lack of adequately trained staff in LD issues often makes the generic units an inappropriate admission unit for people with more severe degrees of LD. For many years in North Hertfordshire the established practice has been an “integrated model of care” i.e. service users with learning disabilities and mental health problems being admitted to “inpatient beds” in the mainstream mental health unit. During the inpatient episode, the LD psychiatrist maintains clinical responsibility for these patients.","PeriodicalId":412658,"journal":{"name":"The British Journal of Development Disabilities","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115229172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is scant information available about what factors are important for using ICT in post-formal educational contexts with adults with learning disabilities. Eight Day Services within one organisation were visited to observe activities and interview staff and service users about ICT, which included use of personal computers, digital cameras and the Internet. Three main levels of ICT use and implementation were identified as well as a number of organisational factors associated with the regular use of ICT resources. Staff beliefs about ICT, the management and organisation of staffing and clear ideas about the purpose of ICT were important factors in addition to the basic requirements of providing resources and training. These factors are useful in guiding practitioners towards implementing and using ICT and highlight the importance of the context within which ICT use takes place. The provision of hardware, software and training are not sufficient by themselves to guarantee good use of ICT and careful attention needs to be paid to wider influential factors. Sharing of ideas about using ICT resources with adults with learning disabilities is timely in relation to the current policy context of social inclusion, but future development depends on the availability of sustained funding to adequately maintain and update equipment; without this the factors supporting regular ICT use described here will remain isolated and largely irrelevant to many people who could otherwise benefit from the use of ICT resources.","PeriodicalId":412658,"journal":{"name":"The British Journal of Development Disabilities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129265262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
