Who are we?

Scottish Learning Disability Week is coordinated by the Scottish Commission for People with Learning Disabilities (SCLD).

SCLD works with people with learning disabilities and partner organisations to create a meaningful week—one that celebrates people with learning disabilities and helps to break down barriers, and challenge how people think, making Scotland a better, fairer, more equal place for everyone.
