Learning Disability

A Valued Life

United Response has carried out some ground-breaking research which has shown that people with severe learning disabilities are becoming more independent.

The evaluation was carried out in partnership with the Tizard Centre at the University of Kent and is the most extensive observational study on the effectiveness of Person-centred Active Support in the world.

It shows that people supported by United Response are significantly more engaged in everyday activities than in 2000, with the greatest change being seen among people with the most complex needs.

The findings of this research are published in a report, A Valued Life.

The report is available here in two formats: as a pdf (currently untagged) and as html pages. You can also request for a hard copy to be send to you. Go to the online version of Valued Life
