Reusable Learing Object - Learning Disability

Learning disability RLO’s (reusable learning objects) available in Welsh
As a part of a collaboration between Nottingham University and the School of Healthcare Science reusable learning objects (RLOs) are now available in Welsh. The purpose of the RLOs is to introduce the students to the principles of working with individuals with a learning disability.

The four resources available are:

1. Gall rhywbeth bach wneud gwahaniaeth mawr - Little things make a big difference
This Reusable Learning Object (RLO) is based around an interaction between a healthcare professional and a client with learning disabilities. It shows how important even small aspects of communication are in formulating a positive interaction

2. Dyma Steve - This is Steve
This RLO shows the sort of information that someone with a learning disability might want carers to know before they come to care for them. It is written from the perspective of a service user with the help of a student nurse.

3. Fy nhŷ i, fy hawliau i - My House, My Rights
This package takes an interactive journey through the house of an individual with learning disabilities. In each room the learner is challenged by some of the ways that the rights of individuals with learning disability are often disregarded by healthcare professionals within their own homes.

4. Ymateb i fynegiant o rywioldeb - Responding to Expressions of Sexuality
This RLO is based on a scenario which involves the expressions of sexuality by John, a man with learning disabilities. It looks at John's responses, views and feelings and compares them with those of his health care worker. It challenges the learner to review their own views to these issues.
