Transition from school or college for people with learning disabilities

Transition from school or college for people with learning disabilities
Planning for the time when young people with learning disabilities will leave school starts when they are 14.
 

 

The views of young people should be listened to and they should be helped to say what they want.

 

Those making the plans need to look at where the young person will live and what they will do in the daytime.

 

They also need to look at leisure activities, disability benefits and health care.

 

Personal advisers working for Connexions, the youth support service, need specialist training to work effectively with young people with disabilities.
