This year's Learning Disability Week theme is 'do you see me?'
Running from today until June 23, the initiative is a global one held each third week of June to raise awareness for those who live with learning disabilities.
Local charity Manx Mencap are celebrating with its service users by holding events all week at its headquarters in Centre 21, Greenfield Road in Douglas.
