Description:• How can a young person with disabilities get to make choices, and get the support she needs?

Moving on to adult life is a resource pack for young people with disabilities and their families. It brings together our experiences of what helps a young person and her mum and dad – and all the rest of her family and friends – achieve a good life. The pack has suggestions on things you can do to make the move to adult life easier, stories about young people and their families, and notes on where to get more information. The topics covered include how to plan for a good life and making choices – such as how to get the most from the assessment processes. It has information and ideas on aspects of a good life - getting friends, having a social life, getting a job, continuing to learn, making a contribution, somewhere to live, keeping well, money, and people who will stand by you. |
