Oxfordshire’s Learning Disabilities Online Community

May 8, 2015 By OxFSN Webmaster

LDOX.org – Oxfordshire’s Learning Disabilities Online Community!

ldox-org-img

An Internet forum to ensure that people with learning disabilities, people with autism, children with special educational needs and people with related disabilities in Oxfordshire get the best support and opportunities available.

Parents, friends, relatives, professionals working in the field, and of course people with learning disabilities themselves are invited to join the forum, ask questions, share information, and talk about what is happening in their lives!

The group has been supported by Jan Sunman from the Oxfordshire Family Support Network and Neil Morris from Together 4 Change.

The formation of the community and the initial stages of its life are being researched as part of Neil’s PhD studies at the Department of Social Policy and Social Work at the University of York. Information about the research can be found here.

The forum aims to be a neutral space where people supporting people with learning disabilities in Oxfordshire can come together to support each other, to exchange knowledge, experience and information, to highlight and discuss the issues that concern us, and to be a friendly place to meet online.

To find out more about Oxfordshire’s Learning Disabilities Online Community and to participate in the forum please do visit www.ldox.org and join in!
