People with learning disabilities have always had to go out on a limb and the limb
is often cut from underneath them. Dual diagnoses are becoming more and more common
across people with learning disabilities. For example, many students with ADHD are
often diagnosed with depression. The manifestation of disability oppression may explain
why people with learning disabilities are suffering from additional psychological
disabilities. Nevertheless, the PHPs in this study have shown us that despite the odds and
the ongoing challenges, they will and have persevered. This does not to lessen the pain,
the amount of work and the struggle they have experienced to be successful in life, but
acknowledges that success despite the challenges.
