About the Original Project
LDD Navigator was created as a resource for prison staff and professionals working with offenders who have learning difficulties and disabilities. It provides practical strategies, information about different conditions, and resources to help support people more effectively.
The original site was developed in partnership with leading organisations in the field of learning difficulties, including Dyslexia Action and the National Autistic Society.
How to Use This Site
This website helps you identify behaviours that may indicate a learning difficulty, understand what might be causing them, and find strategies to help. You can navigate the site in several ways:
- By Behaviour: Start with what you're observing. Select a behaviour like "always late" or "can't follow instructions" to learn what might be causing it and what you can do.
- By Difficulty: If you know or suspect someone has a particular difficulty like dyslexia or autism, start there to understand what to look out for and how to help.
- By Strategy: Browse practical strategies that you can implement immediately to support people with various difficulties.
Why This Matters
Research suggests that a significant proportion of the prison population has some form of learning difficulty or disability. Many have never been diagnosed and may not even be aware of their condition.
Understanding and accommodating these difficulties can:
- Improve communication and reduce misunderstandings
- Help people engage more effectively with programmes and services
- Reduce frustration and challenging behaviour
- Support rehabilitation and reduce reoffending
