Progress celebrates Learning Disability week 2025

“Do you see me?” is the theme for the 2025 National Learning Disability Week. It is about making sure that people with a learning disability are seen, heard, included, and valued in all aspects of life. The goal is to celebrate what people with a learning disability bring to the society.

Annually, the third week of June is Learning Disability Week.  It is when we make sure the world hears what life is like if you have a learning disability.

People with a learning disability want what everyone wants, to be heard, seen and included.  No more prejudice. No more being left out. Just equal opportunities and the right to live a full, brilliant life. The goal is to celebrate what people with a learning disability bring to society.

But, for now, here are the important numbers:

“Do you see me?” is a powerful reminder that people with a learning disability deserve to be seen, heard, included, and valued in every part of life — not just during this week, but always.

At Progress, this theme is at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just see the young people we support, we celebrate them. We champion their voices, we advocate for their rights, and we work every day to ensure they are included, empowered, and given the tools they need to live full, brilliant lives.

While the annual National Learning Disability Week is an opportunity to raise awareness of what life is like for people with a learning disability. At Progress, we live this mission every day. Through our tailored support services, specialists, dedicated carers, and strong values of trust, respect, and progress, we aim to break down barriers and challenge prejudice.

People with a learning disability want what everyone wants: to be heard, to be seen, and to be included. And at Progress, we are committed to making that a reality.
