Learning Disabilities
Having a learning disability means that a person has a reduced intellectual ability. They may not be able to understand and retain information and they may find it difficult to express their thoughts and feelings.
Each individual with a learning disability will have unique skills, strengths and abilities. People with learning disabilities sometimes need extra help to stay healthy and safe and have the best life they can. The level of support needed will look different for each person. There are a number of organisations to help including the following.
