Learning Disability

What is a Learning Disability?

  • A learning disability is a reduced intellectual ability and difficulty with everyday activities such as with household tasks, socialising or managing your money. It affects someone for their whole life.
  • It’s different for every person. But there are some things that are true for everyone with a learning disability.
  • There are some challenges that people may have in common but for others, there may be specific talents and strengths that will be different.
  • Some people with some conditions such as Down’s syndrome, William’s syndrome, Fragile X, Autism Spectrum Conditions and those with Global Developmental Delay will have learning disabilities.
  • Some challenges may relate to daily functioning.
