Transition resources for people with learning disabilities
- 11 Oct 05, 12:00 AM
For my first blog entry, I thought I would show you some resources that anyone with a learning disability may find useful. MacIntyre Care is a charity which helps anyone with a learning disability to find either supported housing or schools. I was involved in a transition project some months ago, which set up some useful resources so that people with a learning disability could use their help with the transition from school to college and give some idea of things that are useful to learn about for life, such as finding a place of your own or leisure opportunities in your area.
The workbooks are available online and can be used by anyone with a learning disability, and there are even personal experiences from myself and others to help you with ideas.
Check out the website for details.
Enjoy using them and have fun!

I did not know about programmes like this before. I went to check the MacIntire website and would very much like to recommend reading the personal experiences. It is first hand information by participants that tells a lot more about the programme than any description by somebody else could ever provide.
Great blog entry, Katie. I checked out the workbooks, they look really useful.
