FRONTLINE is an Irish quarterly magazine published since 1989 for workers and families at the front line of learning disability/mental handicap. It provides a window on research and good practice, and a forum for people with learning difficulties and their advocates to exchange views and experiences. FRONTLINE is a not-for-profit organisation with a voluntary editorial board of frontline professionals and parents.

A NOTE ABOUT TERMINOLOGY
'Learning disability' is used by Frontline, and broadly throughout Ireland and Britain, to replace 'mental handicap' to describe an intellectual disability which makes it difficult for individuals to cope with ordinary living. Frontline is concerned with the wide spectrum of learning disabilities-severe and profound, multiple disabilities, syndromes, mild learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders. The magazine does not deal with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia or with disabling conditions acquired through injury or illness later in life.
