We work with people aged 18 and over who have a learning disability, together with their families and carers.
What is a learning disability?
A learning disability affects the way a person learns new things in any area of life.
It can be difficult for a person with a learning disability to:
- Understand new things
- Learn new skills
- Live independently
- Communicate with other people.
The level of support someone needs depends on the individual.
For example, someone with a mild learning disability may only need support with things like getting a job.
Full-time care and support may be required for those with a severe/profound learning disability. In some cases, people with a learning disability will also have a physical disability.
Support may be required in every aspect of their life, This can include:
- Eating
- Drinking
- Washing
- Dressing
- Toileting.
We support people with learning disabilities to live healthy independent lives and keep safe in the community.
