Accommodating these requirements demands a lot from care managers in terms of time, commitment and skill. It also raises important ethical issues about the determination of a person’s ‘best interest’ when the person cannot make informed decisions for themselves. Mansell and Beadle-Brown (2004a) point, too, to the small social networks of people with intellectual disabilities, many of whom are not known well by anyone, which adds considerably to the challenges of achieving social inclusion. As a UK national survey illustrates (Emerson et al.

1990). At a state level, case management programmes were central to the implementation of the common state-based Disability Services Acts in the form of programmes such as Options in South Australia and Making a Difference in Victoria. CASE MANAGEMENT WITH PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES / 33 Distinguishing characteristics of case management In the early UK experimental models, case management was clearly distinguished from other human service work intervention in several ways. The organisation of support was separated from its provision, and performance of tasks such as assessment and planning were cast as being needs-led and expected to involve both users and carers, rather than service-led and dependent on the availability of formal services.

Such differences are implicit in the perspectives of the individuals involved in a person’s life and generate conflicting prescriptions for action. Exposing and understanding the perspectives that underpin the views of others enables case managers to enter into dialogue that leads to better representation and support for people with intellectual disabilities. Adoption of a multifaceted approach to understanding intellectual disabilities can compensate for the inherent weaknesses of each perspective.
