    Hi I'm looking for ideas for activities around Galway for a person with a mild/moderate learning disability. He will be supported by one person. He has a short attention span and is easily irratated. Physically he is very capable but is also very unfit. A 20 minute brisk walk would leave him out of breath. His areas of interest are music,art and movies however I would love to expose him to as many new experiences as possible. Thanks

    Have you contacted Rehab?

    I know they have a place in Parkmore where there is a range of work activities for people to do. They have a beautiful garden at the moment.
