Learning Disabilities

For people with profound or moderate learning disabilities and autism

We support people who have a wide range of learning disabilities and autism to live the life they choose, gain increased independence and achieve their goals and ambitions. People like Karen, Barbara and Elliott. And Maggie & Doreen.

We are experts in communicating with those who find it hard to be heard. We listen to what people and their families tell us. We successfully support people with even the most complex needs and challenging histories to be part of their community, enabling them to have greater choice and control, and to live an ordinary life.

Learning disabilities

A learning disability is when an individual has a reduced ability to understand information. Individuals with a learning disability can also find it difficult to communicate and can affect their independence.
Statistics suggest that the around 1.5m people have a learning disability.

Here at Myriad Care, we can support you to achieve these tasks and more.

We’ll work with you and your support network to create your support plan and involve you in choosing your support workers, providing you with staff who understand you. We provide specific learning disability training for our staff to ensure our care and support meets your needs.

learning disability?

Approximately 1.4 million people in the UK have a learning disability. A learning disability affects the way a person learns and deals with things in all areas of life, such as developing skills, understanding complex information, managing money and interacting with others.

People with a learning disability often find it difficult to cope on their own with day-to-day tasks and may need support to develop the skills they need to live independently.

This level of support depends on the severity of an individual’s learning disability. Many people with a mild learning disability are able to live on their own and may only require community support to thrive. However, those with a severe or profound learning disability could require full time nursing and intensive care throughout their lives. They could also be living with a physical disability.

Living with a learning

Most individuals with a learning disability are treated ‘differently’ to the rest of society. They have to face prejudice and challenges on a daily basis, and may find it difficult to access services and have the control over their lives that most of us take for granted.

With our support, most people with a learning disability can enjoy meaningful, independent and fulfilling lives. In addition to full time care, we provide residential support, as well as transitional services for people taking the step into supported living.

With CareTech’s help, people with learning disabilities have the opportunity to live their lives as they choose.
