Specialist support
Learning Disability Support
Person-centred support that helps people with learning disabilities live as independently as possible.
What this is
Learning disability support is tailored, person-centred care that helps people build skills, confidence and independence in daily life.
Who might benefit
- People with a learning disability who want support to live independently
- People moving from family care or residential settings towards more independent living
How we help
- We get to know the person, their communication style and what independence means to them
- Carers support skill-building rather than simply doing things for the person
- We work with social workers, families and other professionals involved in the person's life
How care starts
- A conversation with the person and their family or advocates about goals and needs
- An assessment that considers communication, daily living skills and support needs
Your assessment
- We assess communication style, daily living skills and support needs
- We involve the person themselves as fully as possible in planning their own support
- We liaise with social workers or other professionals already involved
Family involvement
- Families, advocates and social workers can be closely involved in planning and reviewing support
