Intellectual Disability
We understand that Intellectual Disability can be present on it’s own or as part of another condition such as Downs Syndrome.
Psychology can help with:
Adjusting to disability and accepting it
Working around cognitive (and other) limitations to build a balanced and meaningful life
Maintenance and building of foundation aspects of wellbeing such as sleep, diet and exercise
Developing emotional literacy and coping strategies
Working towards goals through considering barriers and what may assist in achieving steps along the way
Supporting advocacy for accommodations in various environments
Accessing any government/ community supports available
Supporting connection with others with Intellectual Disability for peer support and adaptive leisure activities
