If you care for someone with a learning disability, you can help keep them safe and healthy.

Talk to them about the signs of constipation, get them medical support if necessary.

Gail had a bad experience at the dentist. She is now passionate about using her voice so that others with learning disabilities don't have the same experience. 🦷 #BecauseWeAllCare 🏥 Share your experience to help improve care for everyone 👉

What does having a #LearningDisability actually mean? 🤷
As it is #LDWeek19, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to ask some people with a learning disability what it means to them. 🤔
Here is what they had to say.👇 #LDWeek19 #HereIAm
