However, this vignette‐based study did not explore participants' direct clinical experience nor focus on their personal attitudes and opinions.…”
The findings highlight that for these participants, the clients' intellectual disability appeared to be lost under the complexity of the PD diagnosis. The clinical implications are discussed in terms of developing training, supervision and support.
