About this course

What the Learning Disability Awareness course covers

Learning Disability Awareness is taught entirely online, so there is nothing to attend and no start date to wait for. Budget roughly 50 minutes for the 8 modules, less if the subject is already familiar. There is no clock on it, so a week off in the middle changes nothing.

The course works through Introduction, Learning Disabilities: the Basics, New Understanding and Person-centred Approach. 4 more modules follow those, all named on the Modules tab.

This is a first course in compliance & risk rather than a refresher for people already trained. We list 98 Compliance & Risk courses, of which 30 sit at Beginner. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. The course is CPD accredited, so the time counts towards a CPD record, and your certificate is available to download as soon as you finish.

Worth knowing before you buy: It is an introduction, so it is the wrong buy if you want depth on one narrow part of the subject.

Learning disabilities, however, they are acquired, are lifelong. They are neurological disabilities and as such affect how an individual understands and remembers information, how they learn, and communicate. People can be born with learning disabilities or they may acquire them later in life.

There are many differing types of learning difficulty and they can exhibit in many different ways and with many different characteristics.

This course will start by giving you an overview of some of the common types and causes of learning disabilities and how they affect people. It will touch on how a person-centered approach to care will get the best results and look at how management must perform, and at the needs of the individual. It will also discuss overcoming the stigma attached to learning disabilities and much more
