“For young people with disabilities, moving on from the security of full-time education, from the support of schools and children’s services, and into the adult world, can be traumatic and daunting. Their parents often speak of the anxiety that this transition generates in the family, the sense of the unknown, and of how passionate they about ensuring that they and the young person are listened to, and that any decisions made are co-produced, and person centred.

I cannot think of a more critical time to be involved in a young person’s life, or anything more rewarding than supporting them to plan for their future.” SL
