Learning disability is a complicated subject, and trying to find the right advice for you can be hard sometimes.
We've split our advice and information into different topics we get asked about a lot - browse them or use our search to find something specific.
Join FamilyHub!
To celebrate our 70th birthday, and in honour of Judy Fryd's work, we've launched a new online community for parents of children with a learning disability. Parents, like Judy, who are seeking advice and support from others like them.
FamilyHub is a community to share your experiences, triumphs and challenges.
Come and say hello
Don't Miss Out on better health
If you have a learning disability you could be missing out on extra support when visiting your doctor. We have worked with NHS England to produce a series of guides and an animated video showing the benefits of joining the Learning Disability Register - which could include having an Annual Health Check.
