A service evaluation of an online intervention for adults with learning disabilities
A mixed methods service evaluation explored the feasibility and effectiveness of an online intervention for people with learning disabilities in a rural county. Psychological wellbeing and self-esteem were compared pre and post-intervention for twelve participants. Thematic analysis of semi-structured telephone interviews with five participants and seven caregivers was conducted. Outcome measures showed general improvement although not meeting significance. Qualitative feedback was positive, stating the intervention was beneficial in developing emotional and interpersonal skills and increasing confidence. Service benefits included interventions for referrals that might otherwise be declined or placed on a waiting list, with little time demand on facilitators.

Abstract
A mixed methods service evaluation explored the feasibility and effectiveness of an online intervention for people with learning disabilities in a rural county. Psychological wellbeing and self-esteem were compared pre and post-intervention for twelve participants. Thematic analysis of semi-structured telephone interviews with five participants and seven caregivers was conducted. Outcome measures showed general improvement although not meeting significance. Qualitative feedback was positive, stating the intervention was beneficial in developing emotional and interpersonal skills and increasing confidence. Service benefits included interventions for referrals that might otherwise be declined or placed on a waiting list, with little time demand on facilitators.
