Who are we campaigning for?

People with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) are unique individuals but sometimes it is helpful to talk about groups of people who have common concerns, have distinctive needs, face barriers to being included and who need help to fight for their equal rights.

People with profound and multiple learning disabilities:

  • have more than one disability
  • have a profound learning disability
  • have great difficulty communicating
  • need high levels of support
  • may have additional sensory or physical disabilities,
    complex health needs or mental health difficulties
  • may have behaviours that challenge us.
