Profound and multiple learning disabilities
PMLD-Link is an informal journal for practitioners and carers working with people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), of all ages and in all situations. It is published three times a year and covers a wide range of issues of interest and practical use in the day-to-day work of practitioners, parents and carers in schools, colleges, adult provision, in the home, and many other settings. In recent years the scope of the articles has been widened to include all professions and services, and to cover issues pertaining to all groups, including occasional articles by practitioners and parents from overseas.
PMLD-Link is a grass roots publication and depends on written contributions from parents and carers, teachers, psychologists, special support assistants and workers in all settings. The contributions may be
short papers /news of individuals, families or other groups /information sharing /requests from readers for information or useful addresses
