Learning Disabilities
A learning disability is when someone has a reduced ability to understand information. This can make it harder for someone to learn, understand or do things, which can affect their independence. A learning disability is different for everyone, each individual will have varying needs and preferences.

There are different types of learning disabilities, which can vary from mild to moderate or severe and profound. A learning disability is lifelong and can mean you find everyday activities difficult.
