"This guide sets out to identify the needs of people with PWS and to suggest ways in which these can best be met within a residential home or a supported living situation. The suggestions are based on practices which have proved to be most helpful in producing a good quality of life for most people with PWS, both in the UK and internationally, and are in line, as far as possible, with current health and social services thinking and practice." - BOOK JACKET
