| Popis: | At present, there is a lot of concern about the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Efforts are being made to educate the public about AIDS, so that individuals can take precautions against acquiring or transmitting the disease. Many people with a mental handicap may not benefit from the current education campaign because of limitations in their general understanding and poor or non-existent reading skills. Two cases are presented to illustrate the difficulties encountered in educating people with a mental handicap about AIDS. |
