About

The Event

The event was specifically designed for children and young adults from the age of 14 – 25 with learning disabilities or autism, offering insights into the support available as they move into adulthood. There was guidance and support on:

  • Social and work-based opportunities, including employment and enterprise options.
  • Outreach support for individuals in the community.
  • Assistance and guidance from advocates.
  • Supported living options and independent flat schemes.
  • Housing options tailored to individual needs.
  • Support from learning disability nurses, local authorities, and healthcare services.
  • Transition support for children moving into adult services.
