Learning & intellectual disabilities

Learning disabilities

Living with learning or intellectual disabilities means processing information, learning, or problem-solving differently than expected by standard systems. These differences can affect academic, work, or daily tasks and often require ongoing adaptation. Challenges are not a reflection of intelligence or effort, but of how information is understood and expressed.

Indicators

Learning or intellectual disabilities may show up as difficulty with comprehension, memory, processing speed, communication, or applying information in real-world settings. You may feel frustrated, misunderstood, or discouraged, especially when expectations don’t align with your strengths or support needs.

How therapy can help

Therapy can support emotional well-being, self-confidence, and adaptive strategies that align with individual strengths and needs. The focus is on reducing stress, building self-understanding, and supporting a sense of capability and autonomy.
