Welcome

Dementia matters to people with a learning (intellectual) disability and here you will find many examples of this in research and practice. This includes the chance to download Jenny's Diary in a range of formats and languages, and to read a series of reports from the 2016 International summit on learning disability and dementia. 
The resource Supporting Derek, originally produced in 2010, was updated in 2018 and is now available as part of a training pack with a link to download the short video featuring Peter and Derek, actors with a learning disability. See the links below to the publishers website for more information:
