Learning Disabilities: Organisations that can provide support and advice
CAPABILITY provides services directly to around 1000 disabled people at over 25 locations around Scotland, supporting people at every stage of their lives and at home, work and school. Through schools, early years and childcare services they support not only disabled children at crucial times in their life but their families and carers. They have many services which focus on giving disabled people the opportunity to live independent lives whether that is in their own homes, participating in their local or wider community, or finding employment. Residential and respite services are also available. To find out more please visit www.capability.scot or call 0131 337 9876 for more information. If you or your loved ones are concerned about how you are managing with your day-to-day tasks and routines - things like paying your bills, shopping, getting washed and dressed or doing housework - you may be able to get some help with doing these things. If you need help to get washed, dressed, go to the toilet or get around, with shopping, preparing meals or eating and drinking, keeping yourself safe, or having things to do during the day you should ask for a Social Work assessment. You should contact your local Social Work office if you haven’t already had an assessment and you think you need one. You can contact your local Social Work office by telephoning 01324 506070, or by email. You can find the details of your local social work office by visiting www.falkirk.gov.uk/places/social-work-offices.
