ABSTRACT
Currently, there is a range of support options for people with learning disabilities.
Traditionally, the majority of people will receive support from services throughout
their lives, to a greater or lesser extent. These services may include school or
college, play and leisure services, residential or short break services, day services or
supported employment. People may also be included in community circles of friends
and other unpaid natural support. Increasingly, people with learning disabilities
access personalised support which they may manage, with varying degrees of help
from other people, as well as using a greater range of community settings.
