Hi, need to submit a 2750 words paper on the topic Developing Relationship. Caring for Someone with a Disability (2006) states that to be considered substantially caring for someone means that “people should be carrying out a range of tasks, like practical help (going shopping, doing housework) personal care (helping them get washed and dressed) and emotional support. By ‘regularly’ we mean that usually, people should be caring for around 20 hours a week or more.”&nbsp.Caring for Someone with a Disability (2006) states that to be considered substantially caring for someone means that “people should be carrying out a range of tasks, like practical help (going shopping, doing housework) personal care (helping them get washed and dressed) and emotional support. By ‘regularly’ we mean that usually, people should be caring for around 20 hours a week or more.”&nbsp.The 21-year-old LD patient for this case study also has epilepsy.&nbsp. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (2006) defines epilepsy as “Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain sometimes signal abnormally.”&nbsp. She also deals with her weight problem and women’s health issues as well as emotional health/behavior.&nbsp. Along with the issues of LD, the risk factors of being overweight is of concern and something that those who care for the LC patient must also address.&nbsp. Overweight and Obesity (2001-2004) reports, “Overweight and obesity substantially raise the risk of illness from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, gallbladder disease, arthritis, sleep disturbances, and problems breathing, and certain types of cancers. Obese individuals also may suffer from social stigmatization, discrimination, and lowered self-esteem.&nbsp. Obesity is a result of a complex variety of social, behavioral, cultural, environmental, physiological, and genetic factors. Efforts to maintain a healthy weight should start early in childhood and continue throughout adulthood, as this is likely to be more successful than efforts to lose substantial amounts of weight and maintain weight loss once obesity is established.”

Developing Relationship&nbsp. &nbsp.&nbsp.

Learning Disability Support Call (2006) states that a survey suggests, “Seven in 10 families caring for someone with severe learning disabilities are close to or has reached the breaking point.”&nbsp. The article also reports that councils are not legally required to relieve families of LD patients of responsibilities, not even for a few hours.&nbsp. The article quotes Adams (2006) who cares for an 18-year old grandson, “I have a feeling of permanent tiredness. It has affected my marriage, health, socializing, my thinking – you are constantly living not your life, but the life of somebody else.&nbsp. I can’t carry on much longer and I shouldn’t have to.”&nbsp. These issues can also be problems for carers or caregivers.&nbsp.&nbsp. The good news is that these factors can be controlled and in exercise and activities that help prevent and minimize emotional, physical, and women’s health issues can also combat social issues.&nbsp. Physical activities and games can be performed in social settings.&nbsp. By combining physical activity in a social setting (also balanced with solo exercise such as walking, jogging, etc.) can provide the supportive environment that is crucial for the mental and physical health of our case study LD patient, others with LD, and those who provide their daily care.
