Learning Disability Awareness
Around 1.5 million people in the UK are living with a learning disability which can affect a person's ability to understand new information, learn new skills and live independently.
Helping others to live their best life
Learning disabilities can range from mild to severe and affect each individual differently. This course helps staff understand the impact of learning disabilities and teaches tools that carers can use to better connect with their service users in order to support their unique learning disability. Packed with communication tips and tricks, this interactive workshop will leave staff more confident in their caring role, and better equipped to design and deliver support to people with learning disabilities.
