The goal of this naturalistic single case series design is to investigate if an adapted Narrative Exposure Therapy protocol can be effective, is feasible, and acceptable for adults with a mile learning disability. Participants will be complete three baseline sessions before taking part in Narrative Exposure Therapy using a manual that has been adapted for people with a learning disability. Trauma symptoms will be measured weekly using the Impact of Events scale adapted for intellectual disabilities. The person's carer will also complete an informant scale related to these symptoms (LANTS-IV). The client will also complete the CORE-LD at pre, and post therapy. Six weeks after the end of the intervention, the client and their carer will be invited to a feedback session to talk about how they found the intervention.
