Living with a learning disability can present challenges and barriers for people every day. By making ourselves aware of these barriers, and how they effect people we can work together to make health services and wider public space more accessible for everyone. In this course we cover what learning disabilities are, what individuals unique support needs might be and discuss communication styles and safeguarding.

Living with a learning disability presents a person with a number of daily challenges which they have to face throughout their life. Whilst we can’t eliminate these challenges, there are things we can do to support people with a learning disability so that they can thrive and live healthy, fulfilling lives.
