Produced in partnership with Mencap, this inspiring book explains what learning disabilities are and shows that, whoever you are, you can and should have the same opportunities as everyone. Whether you want to be a popstar, activist, dancer, actor, baker or athlete, having a learning disability is no barrier to this.
Written by Natalie Duo, a Mencap ambassador who has a learning disability, this book tells about the challenges Natalie faced growing up and faces now in her everyday life. It shows readers how having a learning disability affects people's lives, and how best to understand, support and be an ally to people with learning disabilities. Find out what living with a learning disability is really like.
