The King's Fund - Personalising digital tools for people with learning disabilities: challenges and solution - online event, Thursday 8th October

At this event you'll hear how technology can help with personalising care for people with learning disabilities and discuss the importance of putting people at the heart of planning and delivery. You'll also hear from clinicians, service users, carers and support workers about their journey to make technology a tool that works for every single user.

You will hear about:

• practical ways of adjusting a digital tool to the individual using it, to make them feel more comfortable in their path to more independence;
• the importance of creative and empathetic attitudes in problem-solving in order to build tailored solutions;
• evidence for the benefits of using digital tools for people with learning disabilities and some cautionary tales, too;
• ways to involve the person, their family and carers at an early stage and throughout the decision-making process;
• the role of technology in promoting better health outcomes for people from disadvantaged groups and enhancing social inclusion.
