What is a Learning Disability?

A Learning Disability can happen before, during and after birth, which can affect the body, brain or both. Find out how on WWW.mencap.org.uk

In the last handout I wrote, which was about, in your job you can expect to come across people who are more sensitive to things that just seem a very small problem or no problem at all, such as  Home, health, education, work, social lives, family or and etc. These people need support in different things such as those examples I have just written depending on the disabilities they have got.

Stress is hard for everyone to cope with but by studying different types of disabilities on the Mencap website you will see why disabilities make these people more sensitive than other people. This is can be the same with health problems and mental health problems just the same stress is even harder to cope when we are unwell but a lot of people who have long - term conditions, health problems, mental health problems, disabilities or and etc there's risk of any kind of stress affecting them for longer, making them unwell or twice as unwell. Things like tummy upsets, colds and or etc is something that we all have time after time for people with disabilities, health problems, mental health problems, long - term conditions or and etc is something extra compared to other people, that doesn't mean we should be treated any different, any special or like children when we are adults but to keep an eye on us a bit more but not to a point we are being Mummy cuddled.

 Some people will find harder than others depending on the disabilities they have got and how it affects them. In some areas of life, they can manage better than people other disabilities and even those without but it can vary from person to person so except anything off anybody. In most people, it will depend whether it affects the brain, body or both.  There needs to be a balance of support and Indepence for a person to get the right support and independence to give these people an equal life to other people, which is where PCP comes in Person Centred Planning.
Here's a link I wrote for the Learning Disability nurses two years ago, which may give you a rough   idea of what people with disabilities, health problems. mental health problems and long - term conditions face. http://sararevealed.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/learning-disability-and-mental-health.html?spref=fb
