Learning Disability Awareness Week, lots of positives flying around and talk of changing attitudes but not a lot of substance IMO. So, what can you, as a professional in non specialist services learn/do? A thread.🧵
1/ you can learn about terminology, in the UK Learning DISABILITY refers to IQ linked disability which affects ALL aspects of life - but is not the same as learning DIFFICULTY (e,g ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia). You are not being less offensive by using the wrong term.
and yes, people with Learning DISBAILITIES can also have Learning DIFFICULTIES. Having a learning DIFFICULTY affects a discrete aspect of life and, whilst challenging even disabling doesn't mean you may need help with all aspects of living.
