How can Learn and Thrive help those listening to the podcast now?

Learn and Thrive

Outdated stereotypes, poor understanding of specific learning needs, and a lack of access to services, all contribute to this group of people often not getting the support they need within their communities. Research shows us that people with Down’s syndrome are lifelong learners and that with targeted specific support, they can gain the vital skills needed to fully access their community and live life to the fullest.

All of the resources on Learn and Thrive are free!

RSE stands for Relationships and Sex Education replacing PHSE in schools.
