Caritas Salford: The Wider Impact of Learning Differently

The way in which people learn can have a wider implication for how they navigate people and activities.

Sometimes known as “specific learning difficulties/differences” or “SpLD”, conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and ADHD can change how a person processes information and navigate their environment.

Approximately 10% of the UK population has a SpLD.

Take a moment to consider:

• Do you understand what a SpLD is and how it affects a person?
• Do you think you operate in a way that is supportive to people who have a SpLD?
• Do you understand your responsibilities towards accessibility?

The session will include:

• Considering different ways of learning
• Things that could help people, if available
• The language we use, attitudes and mind-sets
• A chance to ask questions without judgment
