Dr. Tulp, I Presume: Intellectual Disability and Ethnicity in Rotherham
McClimens, Alex; Lewis, Robin; Brewster, Jacqui
Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, v17 n1 p78-89 Mar 2013
In this article, we report on that aspect of our ongoing simulation project which focuses on the cultural needs of a "virtual" young man living with profound and multiple intellectual disabilities, who is British Asian and receives care in a residential setting. We describe our involvement with a local agency who supports families from black and minority ethnic populations and who have children with a variety of intellectual disabilities. We then go on to detail the focus group we attended and how we incorporated the data generated into a more comprehensive story for our "virtual" young man, Ahmed.
