#learningdisabilityweek Learning Disability Week 2024 Get ready to bust myths about living life with a learning disability

We need your help

Every year we celebrate Learning Disability Week.

 

It is a week where people show what life is like if you have a learning disability.

 

This year we want people to help bust myths about living life with a learning disability.

 

A myth is an idea about something that is not true.

 

Busting a myth means showing why an idea about something is not true.

 

For example, you could bust a myth to show people with a learning disability can:

 

  • Get a job

 

  • have a relationship

 

learn new things.

 

We want people with a learning disability to help us bust myths this year!

 

That means showing the public things that people with a learning disability can do, are good at, or are proud of.

 

Or telling people about the issues that affect you.

 

Learning Disability Week starts on Monday June 19 2023.
