What is PMLD? When a child has more than one learning disability, it is referred to as profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). These children may have major communication difficulties, and their capacity to understand and express themselves might be limited.

PMLD stands for profound and multiple learning disabilities. It’s used to describe a diverse group of children or adults with a complex range of needs and difficulties. People with PMLD can have more than one disability and other medical needs. Children with PMLD are wonderfully unique, brave, and inspirational.
