The Challenging Behaviour Foundation has written Planning for Adulthood, a complete guide to transition for families.
Thinking about the future for a young person with a severe learning disability is a daunting task.
Whilst Local Authorities have a legal obligation to start thinking about transition in Year 9, all to
often it is left to families to do the actual exploration of what is possible and what will work for
their young person.
What should happen to support a young person as they reach age 18?
Where will they live?
What should I ask to know if a support provider is the right fit?
Where will the money come from?
Do I get a say in any of this?
Answering these and many more questions, this resource is enriched with real-life stories,
providing not just information but also inspiration and reassurance. It aims to empower families
with the knowledge and confidence to advocate effectively for their loved ones, ensuring they
lead fulfilling and happy lives as adults.
