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.
