Good of you to say that! A Learning Disability is absolutely NOT a mental health problem. It is a lifelong mental disability. People can recover from mental health issues/conditions but they cannot recover from LD which is intellectual & affects daily living. It is sad that even social workers surprisingly can get this wrong. There are many with intellectual disability who are happy, resilient & contribute beneficially to community.
Did you know that JFK' s sister Rosemary Kennedy had an intellectual disability ? She would have celebrated her 100th birthday this year, because of her, her sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver, established The Special Olympics, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
Yes Learning disability is not an illness. It's something that affects someone's ability to understand certain information and carrying out daily activities. There are different categories of disability as well.
