Lambeth
carers asked Mencap to do a project looking at how we can improve the lives of
people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, or PMLD.
People with profound
and multiple learning disabilities have high support needs. They have more than
one disability and find communicating difficult. This means this group of
people find it very hard to speak up for themselves.
The
project was to find out what life is like for people with profound and multiple
learning disabilities and what could be done to make things better. The project
is called the Lambeth PMLD project.
