There are around 1.5 million people in the UK with a learning disability and 700,000 with autism. Photographer Polly Braden has spent two years working with just a few who are supported by MacIntyre *, a charity that provides more than 1500 children and adults with learning, support and care. Her photographs look at the everyday moments, achievements and milestones. The subject is complex but the aim is simple: to highlight everyday interactions and life-changing experiences. 

These are stories about the barriers faced in life, but they are also inspiring, often filled with moments of achievement in things which once seemed difficult if not impossible – from finding employment or using public transport to gaining a measure of independence, graduating from high school or getting married. Great Interactions looks to engage decision-makers and the wider public to ensure that people with a learning disability receive the same opportunities as anyone else.

'In these intimate photos, Polly Braden captures the inner lives of people with differences and disabilities. She sees their dignity and their sometime pathos; their humor and their disappointment; their optimism and their ability to love. Above all, she documents their intense individuality, and makes you see each one as an independent being. This is not a portrait of disability, but a series of portraits of people with disabilities. It is achieved with clarity, respect, and wit.'  – Andrew Solomon, author of 'Far From The Tree'

Renowned for her photographs of intimate communication between people, and of gestures that hint at something without explaining it, Polly Braden explores the relationship between everyday life, work, leisure and economics. She works on long-term, self-initiated projects, and on commissions for international publications. Her book China Between was published by Dewi Lewis in 2010 and her work has appeared in several other publications. In recent years she has collaborated with journalists to produce extended photo-essays in the UK, the Middle East, Morocco, Kenya and China. She has worked with The Guardian, The Saturday Telegraph Magazine, Portfolio, ICON, Photoworks, and Frieze. A previous winner of both the Jerwood Photography Prize and The Guardian Young Photographer of the Year award, Braden has exhibited internationally including exhibitons in the UK, Germany and the United States.

* MacIntyre is a leading national charity providing learning, support, education and care to over 1500 children, young people and adults with learning disabilities, complex needs and autism, and their families across England and Wales. In 2016 it celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Great dress!

I had to go a size up in this for the chest area. But this is a great dress with adjustable straps. Can do a lot with it. Feels and looks quality!

Heavy linen, lined dress
Size: Medium, Color: White
Nice heavy linen. Lined. Has a zipper. Great quality dress. If you like pockets, this dress has them. The skirt is full at the bottom. I would prefer to have less material. The pockets are right at the hip, this is not helpful for those with hips as it adds weight and I am tall and have a nice hourglass shape, but am not looking to have bigger hips . But beautiful dress.

A beautiful dress
Size: Medium, Color: Red Rose Floral
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I absolutely love this dress. It is the first item of clothing I have purchased from Amazon that I haven't had to send back. The sizing is spot on. This dress is indeed 100% linen. The workmanship is great. It is truly a beautiful dress and it brought me many compliments.

Beautiful & comfortable summer dress
Size: XX-Large, Color: Whisper White/Black Polka Dot
Beautiful summer dress! I’m very busty, so I really appreciate the stretchy material on the back. The shoulder straps are adjustable, with a button cleverly hidden on the inside where they attach, and the side zipper is perfect. It keeps my bust from straining the dress when i’m putting it on. The pockets are definitely a bonus! The fabric is a bit light, but it has an underlining that doesn’t affect the fit. I don’t see a tag besides the size label, but it feels like cotton. I love it and think it’s worth the price. Hopefully, it stays just as nice after washing. I plan on buying the black one too.
