People with Learning Disabilities

Logo of COT SS People with Learning Disabilities

We promote high standards of occupational therapy practice within the field of learning disability by supporting networking and sharing expertise, techniques and new information with our local and national OT network

We organise educational events, act in an advisory and consultative capacity, and provide updates on developments in national policies affecting learning disability services. Members of COT Specialist Section - People with Learning Disability support each other’s professional development and work cooperatively to shape and influence learning disability national policy. Our networks create links between occupational therapists and students who have an interest in people with learning disabilities.
