Learning Disability Awareness Week
Dr Chetna Kang and Toby Friedner focus on disability and mental health.
It's Learning Disability Awareness Week next week and it's thought that around 1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability.
The challenegs for them and their carers can be significant. But there's an army people, often volunteers, who provide help, support and advice.
On today's programme we'll hear from people who have learning disabilities, their carers and from the charities that help make their lives a little bit easier.
