‘Sunrise, sunset’ — the transitions faced by the parents of adults with learning disabilities

Abstract

This article is based on statements freely written by the parents of three adults with learning disabilities describing the transitions in the lives of these adults, and structured interviews with their general practitioner (GP). It highlights the emotional, psychological and personal problems of this group of carers and the need for more research into their support.
