Community team for people with learning disabilities

CTPLD is the Learning Disability Service for Wiltshire.

We work with adults who have had a learning disability since childhood and:

• find it hard to understand new or difficult information
• find it hard to learn new skills
• find it hard to cope independently

We work with individuals who have difficulties having their unmet health needs met by mainstream services due to having a Learning Disability. We also work with the person's family, carers and wider services to ensure a joined up approach where possible.

We can help you with your health needs as below:

• Physical health
• Epilepsy
• Behaviours which challenge
• Sensory needs
• Mental Health (including dementia)
• Autism*
• Assessment for NHS Continuing Health Care

*we are not commissioned to work with autistic people who do not have a learning disability.

This service is provided jointly with Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.

The team has specialist nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists and consultant psychiatrists.

We also support carers, other health professionals and care providers with managing people’s health needs.
