Learning Disabilities

Talking to people with learning disabilities People with learning disabilities may need a different approach and support to help them in their understanding of their or someone else’s illness. Often, people with learning disabilities find it easier to understand information if it is presented as pictures rather than written text.

The British Institute of Learning Disabilities gives advice and support about communicating with children who have learning disabilities.
