Lack of Specialist Services in Wales for People with Learning Disabilities and Family

Introduction

People with disabilities constitute a very heterogeneous population. There are distinct gradation deficiencies and produce different types of disability or dependency. This raises a very different situation if the disability is congenital or occurrence: in the latter case, we must take into account the capacities and potentialities of the person from one point in his life has a disability but retains all other characters and circumstances, having to learn to live differently (Barr et al., 20091,482-1491). On the other hand, there is a significant gap in the degree of gender exclusion that crosses all ages and social classes, in addition, family resources, the place resident, whether urban or rural, to say nothing of other circumstances added as ethnicity, immigration, determine the opportunities and ways to cope.
