All young people need support to help them make the
transition from adolescence to adulthood. For disabled
young people there are often additional issues to consider.
Transitional planning centred on a young person’s needs and
wishes is an essential starting point. This course considers
the legislative framework on rights and entitlements, and
looks at ways of creatively involving disabled young people
(especially those with additional communications needs)
and working with other agencies. It also examines the
possible barriers to effective participation.
Learning outcomes cover:
- Models and theories of change and how to relate them
to practice.
- The implications of the varying types of change a child
with a disability may experience.
The support that can be offered to children to provide
appropriate assistance through transition and change.
- Awareness of how professional and personal experiences
can either help or hinder the ways in which children and
families manage transition and change.
- How to help children and families cope with transition
and change.
