What is a Learning Disability?

A disability is classed as an impairment that carries substantial long-terms adverse impacts on an individual’s day-to-day activities. Individuals with learning disabilities tend to learn, develop new skills and process complex information at a more temperate pace.

There are roughly 1.5 million people in the UK with learning disabilities.

Common Barriers to exercise for people with MS

• Accessibility - many exercise settings and programmes are not adapted to accommodate individuals with cognitive or sensory needs. Being able to reach your exercise goals in a safe space with a specialist programme is essential for many individuals

• lack of inclusive programmes - a lack of inclusive exercise programmes can make entry into fitness for individuals with learning disabilities and other disorders difficult and daunting. Brand Inc Fitness specialise in delivering fitness to everyone, no matter your ability or disability
