Learning Disability is a lifelong condition involving reduced intellectual functioning and difficulties with adaptive skills that develop during childhood. It can affect communication, learning, decision-making, independent living and the ability to manage everyday activities. Individuals may also experience associated physical or mental health conditions requiring specialist support. Assessment considers developmental history, cognitive abilities, adaptive functioning and individual care needs. Support may include reasonable adjustments, specialist healthcare, education and multidisciplinary interventions. Independent Learning Disability Expert Witnesses can provide specialist opinions on diagnosis, mental capacity, safeguarding, care requirements, treatment, functional impairment and prognosis in Clinical Negligence, Personal Injury, Family and Court of Protection proceedings.
