Activities Within Learning Disabilities

Meaningful activity begins with knowing what matters to the person. Explore how to plan enjoyable, accessible activities with people with learning disabilities, supporting choice, connection and participation rather than filling time or expecting everyone to enjoy the same things.

Consider interests, communication preferences and the support someone needs to take part in everyday opportunities. Work through ways to adapt activities, build on strengths and review what is working, with the person's experience and enjoyment at the centre of each decision.
