The community learning disability health team is a secondary care service made up of a number of health related specialist therapists and nurses.  The service works with people aged 18 or over unless they are still at school, in which case it will be when they leave.

We support people with learning disabilities and their family to maintain good health in Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. 

Our team includes:

• occupational therapists who can help you learn new skills and think about where you want to live
• physiotherapists who can help you sit and lie down comfortably and help you if you have problems walking
• audiologist who can test how well you hear and help you keep your ears healthy
• speech and language therapists who can help you to communicate and to eat and drink safely
• community nurses who can help you learn about and improve your health
