This site provides information and resources about learning disabilities (LD). A learning disability can affect the way in which a person takes in, remembers, understands and expresses information. People with learning disability are intelligent and have abilities to learn despite difficulties in processing information.

Students with learning disabilities can succeed in higher education if individual skills and strategies are developed and relevant alternative arrangements are provided.

This DVD presents video profiles and stories of 55 people with disabilities (hearing, physical, learning / neurological, intellectual, psychiatric, vision) who are succeeding in the workforce. These can be enjoyed by case workers, teachers, family members etc. The DVD aims to assist in career planning, to increase employer awareness and expectations, and to alleviate misconceptions about OHS implications of people with disabilities undertaking certain occupations.
