Support Young People with Complex Disabilities to Transition into Adulthood

In this course we will be looking at how young people become adults, the challenges this presents for young people with complex disabilities or conditions and how we support them to negotiate these challenges.
The ability to reflect on our own practice is crucial in how we learn and develop, therefore we’ll also be looking at the benefits of this and how we adopt or improve this practice.
