Starry News Under The Stars Under the Stars is a learning disability friendly nightclub run by people with a learning disability and their friends. We run proper nights out and people come to the clubs so they can have a good time in a safe environment, meet up with old friends and make new ones.We started the club nights in Sheffield in 2007 as people with a learning disability were asking for a proper night out. Now we run clubs in Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham and attract crowds of 600 to our bigger club events and have run over 15 clubs and on average run 10 club nights a year.We are a social enterprise which means we are a business that puts all its profits back into the organisation. We have a board of directors that includes people with and without a learning disability and family carers. They make all the important decisions about the business. Music and LD Jacob L I came up with the idea growing up with a learning disability myself due to a brain hemorrhage at birth. I had trouble remembering info but I could recall hundred of songs in my head and play them back on the piano. I had this strange ability to count the # of SI later figured out how to combine any song with any task to assist with memory retrieval; have been doing so since I was 10 (now 34). I now help other kids who struggle with memory recall, behavior mgmt, life skills, etc. below is a sample of a student with anxiety + autism l, helping him “stay calm” https://youtu.be/-bUuU2d ADHD in College Katie Sobkowiak This podcast tells of how to succeed in college when you have a learning disability, specifically ADHD.
