The piloting of this material showed that understanding of complex health conditions in itself is too complex for a number of people with learning disabilities, but focusing on the effects of the health condition and how people react has increased confidence and self-esteem. The course is designed for people who have mild to moderate learning disabilities and are able to communicate verbally, and is based around the use of the Kolb (1984) experiential learning cycle. This enables people with learning disabilities to gain a better understanding of their health through learning from interactive and participatory sessions. It provides the framework that will guide the facilitator by creating opportunities such as role play, active participation, exercises, games, homework and action plans, which are all forms of experiential learning. The course is organised into six weekly sessions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Codling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910366625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910366622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pavilion Publishing and Media Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Spiral","brand":"Mary Codling","offers":[{"title":"Spiral","offer_id":48450045116671,"sku":"9781910366622","price":45.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98235fb7-d676-4519-97b3-106e2ca5a098.jpg?v=1777265988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taking-control-of-my-health-mary-codling-9781910366622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
