The community team for people with a learning disability (CTPLD) support those who have a formal diagnosis of a learning disability.
CTPLD is an integrated team, sharing an office with colleagues from Health including LD Nurses, OT, Physio, SALT, Psychology and a weekly meeting with Psychiatry.
The team offers a range of information, advice and support to enable people to:
- be as independent as they can
- stay living in their own home for as long as possible
- stay involved in social activities
- live their life the way they want.
Initially CTPLD work with strength based approaches and community resources to maximise an individual’s abilities in meeting their outcomes. CTPLD work creatively and positively with service users to meet their outcomes including funded services where necessary.
