Mencap: A learning disability is a reduced intellectual ability and difficulty with everyday activities – for example household tasks, socialising or managing money – which affects someone for their whole life. People with a learning disability tend to take longer to learn and may need support to develop new skills, understand complex information and interact with other people. The level of support someone needs depends on individual factors, including the severity of their learning disability.. It’s important to remember that with the right support, most people with a learning disability in the UK can lead independent lives Definitions Learning disability awareness training
