Therapies for people with an intellectual disability

People searching for intellectual disability therapies are usually looking for therapists who adapt how they work — plain language, visual supports, longer sessions, more repetition, and involving family or support workers so skills carry over into everyday life.

The disciplines requested most often are speech therapy for communication, occupational therapy for daily living skills and sensory needs, psychology for emotional wellbeing, and behaviour support where behaviours of concern are affecting safety or participation.

Ask providers directly about their experience with intellectual disability, whether they use adapted communication, and whether they will work alongside your support team. We are a matching service, so the clinical judgement stays with you and the therapist.
