Did you know that under 10% of people with learning disabilities are in paid employment? And yet a lot of these people have the ability and skills required to be employed. But they aren't in employment, sadly. Claire Harris has the condition Down's syndrome and she too has faced challenges when trying to seek out paid employment opportunities, although she is now in a paid job.

Claire's sister, Abigail decided to investigate why such a small percentage of people with learning disabilities are employed and so she made a documentary called PossABILITY.
