Abstract

This well-constructed paper describes a situation which is fairly common in the care of young people with disabilities; namely that even in a caring environment, there can be a tendency for these young people to be viewed as a homogeneous group with shared characteristics, rather than as individuals in their own right. As was the case with Lizzy, this can result in important issues being overlooked.
