Some individuals may have more than one disability, significantly impacting their daily lives. For example, a person may be visually impaired and have a learning disability, or be both visually and hearing impaired while also having a traumatic brain injury and physical disability.
Supporting individuals with multiple disabilities requires time and patience. Understanding social, emotional, and physical signs can be challenging for these individuals, necessitating a considerate approach.
Issues with communication and interaction are common among individuals with multiple disabilities. Tailored support, which may involve one-to-one or even two-to-one intervention, is often necessary to meet their needs effectively.
Understanding an individual's needs and the appropriate levels of support depends on their care and support plans. These plans provide a comprehensive overview of the required interventions and help ensure that support is personalised and effective.
