Dr Joel Parker Clinical Psychologist

 What does it mean to say that someone has learning disabilities?  What are the challenges people with learning disabilities face?  How do we support people with Learning disabilities in Islington?

 That they have a significant impairment in “intellectual functioning”.  This means they find thinking and reasoning,  This is usually measured using IQ tests.  Someone with learning disabilities has to be in the bottom 2%.  This usually means that their IQ is below 70.

““  They also have an impairment in adaptive functioning.  The person might need help with eating and drinking, personal care and getting dressed.  Or it could be more subtle areas of social problem solving and social reasoning.

 These impairments date back to childhood.

 Usually have some verbal communication skills  Able to carry out self-care tasks with moderate supervision  Can often manage in community settings with moderate degree of supervision  Likely to need some support in negotiating and accessing health care service

 Very limited or specialist communication skills  Often additional physical disabilities or mobility problems  Require a much greater level of support in most aspect of life, including identifying and meeting health related problems
