Dementia, Learning Disability, MacIntyre

As the external consultant for MacIntyre’s Dementia Project, I’m delighted to share links to the eBooks from the Wellbeing for Life Toolkit that MacIntyre are now making available on their website.

I have written – in whole or in part – many of these resources, as well as reviewing/revising all of the resources for MacIntyre in Summer 2017 as part of my consultancy role.
