Everyone has the right to live the best life they can.
People with PMLD may need support for many parts of life. They deserve to be treated with kindness and have their rights and choices respected by the people who support them.
A group of people in the United Kingdom made standards to help improve the lives of people with PMLD.
How can the standards help?
The standards may help improve many parts of life for people with PMLD, like:
- physical and mental health
- health and services and support
Wellbeing is how you feel in your body and mind. It includes your health, your feelings, and how you manage everyday life.
- quality of life and opportunities
- communication
- connecting with family and the community
- helping health professionals know what to do.
Who made the standards?
The standards were made by:
- family members
- health care professionals
- social workers
- teachers
- researchers.
