Staff working in residential, day and domiciliary settings will all encounter learning disabilities, either in their own establishment or in establishments where clients are using the services, so they need to understand what is meant by the term "learning disability" and what they can do to lessen the impact of any disability. This workshop resource is designed for use with direct care staff and others who support or are involved with people with learning disabilities. The workshop can either be run in a single day or on a modular basis, and can be used to develop training to include staff in the statutory, voluntary and private sectors. This resource can be used for staff at varying levels as it will help staff to understand the wider service structures within which their own agency is located, and to appreciate their own and each other's roles. The video pack includes sessions on such subjects as attention, perception, memory, comprehension and coping with change.
