ENABLE Scotland was originally founded in 1954 by five parents in order to support children with learning disabilities and their families through sharing information, campaigning and lobbying for better services.  

ENABLE Scotland offers a range of services including:

  • a national Information Service providing information, advice, leaflets and a Scotland-wide library service
  • a Trustee Service that specialises in wills and trusts for families of children and adults with learning disabilities
