Based on mothers' experiences and accounts, Community Care and the Mentally Handicapped (originally published in 1984) explores the daily challenges of caring for a severely disabled child at home.

Sam Ayer was a dedicated learning disability nurse who transformed care for vulnerable children and adults. Beginning as a staff nurse at South Ockendon hospital in 1973, he advanced to lead the Swansea Children's Unit while earning his BA in economics. His influential research contributed significantly to shifting services from institutional to community-based care. In 1982, he became one of the first learning disability nurses to earn a PhD, subsequently using his expertise to revolutionize nurse education and development programs.

Andy Alaszewski is Emeritus Professor of Health Studies at the University of Kent, UK. Over his career, Professor Alaszewski developed research interests into different aspects of the relationship between health and society; the management of risk, personal experiences of illnesses and health and the ways in which health policy is formed and implemented.
