Learning Disability 

This guide is aimed at young people with learning difficulties as they pass through transition into adult life, as well as their family carers and professionals. It comprises two parts. Part 2 consists of accessible illustrated text for young people with learning difficulties. Part 1 is for adults who are supporting them through their transition, and is intended to increase awareness of the issues underlying Part 2, in order that adults can be of most help to the young person.

Transition can be a particularly complicated and stressful experience for a young person with disabilities and his or her family. All change looks at the process of transition in England and the main issues and choices that may arise, both in the lives of young people with learning difficulties and for their families. It covers what happens when a person leaves school, the choices they might need to make about further education, work, housing and leisure, the transition to adult services and the different options and types of support that are available.
