Learning Disabilities
Learning Disability Strategy
Pembrokeshire County Council, in conjunction with Hywel Dda University Health Board, has launched the Learning Disability Strategy 2017-2022 for Pembrokeshire.
The Strategy has been developed following an extensive period of engagement and consultation.
Learning disabilities
There are many kinds of support available to people with learning disabilities to help them live as independently as possible and play a part in their local community. There is help with learning new skills, finding a place to live, getting a job and speaking up for themselves.
For those who are eligible for help, Adult Care can arrange services which might include:
- Day Opportunities – Social Activity Centres and services in the community
- Short breaks and respite
- Supported employment
- Adult placement
Dewis Cymru is the place to go if you want information or advice about your well-being – or want to know how you can help somebody else.
