This week, we’re proud to support Scottish Learning Disability Week 2026!
Taking place from 7 - 13 September, this year’s theme is “I am here… to be seen.”
Being seen means more than being visible. It means being listened to, included, respected and valued, having your choices recognised and having a say in decisions that affect your life. This means having the right support in place to participate fully and be included in your community.
Throughout the week, people with learning disabilities and organisations across Scotland will be sharing experiences, starting conversations and challenging the barriers that still prevent people with learning disabilities from participating equally in society.
Scottish Learning Disability Week is an important reminder that people with learning disabilities should not simply be included in conversations about their lives, their voices and lived experience should help shape those conversations from the beginning.
