​A Learning Disability Psychology Expert is a specialised psychologist who works with individuals with learning disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, or conditions like Down’s syndrome. In the context of legal proceedings, they act as expert witnesses, providing detailed assessments and expert witness reports to courts. These reports offer professional insights into the individual’s cognitive abilities, mental health status, and behavioural challenges, which can be crucial in cases related to capacity, fitness to plead, or the impact of a disability on behaviour. Their expertise helps the court make informed decisions by presenting evidence-based opinions on the psychological aspects of the case, often contributing to care planning, safeguarding, or criminal justice outcomes.
