Learning Disabilities

MyLife provides at home support for people of all ages with one, or multiple learning disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder.

We believe it is important for a person with a learning disability to have the opportunities to engage with the activities they wish to include in their life, being involved with their community and being able to attend college or social events on a regular basis.

More often than not, family members support their child with learning disabilities and this can be overwhelming at times, becoming more challenging as the child transitions to becoming an adult. It is vital to have on hand support to assist with their social development, communication skills, as well as basic life skills that enable them to lead an independent life.

Live in support is a popular choice for learning disability home support so as to ensure there is a consistency as well as enabling the Health Care Assistant and Lead Nurse to observe and adjust to improvements and challenges that can occur.

Learning disabilities, although labelled as one kind or another, are still always unique to the individual and it is important to have a deep understanding of how to communicate with the person to enable an effective support plan.

Health Care Assistants supporting children and young adults with a learning disability receive regular supervision and support from their clinical nurse lead who will be assigned to your package of care.
