💡 What do we mean by PMLD?
PMLD stands for Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities. Children with PMLD have more than one disability, including a profound learning disability. They often have complex health needs and may experience significant challenges with mobility, communication, and sensory processing. They may rely on others for most aspects of daily life and use a range of non-verbal communication methods.
