Brief Outline of Transition Timeline, Processes and Service By Trevor Uys and Mark Smith

The transition period can be a stressful time for people with a learning disability and for their parents and carers. This is because they are usually unsure about the choices and opportunities available. It is however, a time to plan for the young person’s future and a time to discover what opportunities are available for a young person on the road to independence.

Age 14 The year 9 Transition Review is held at school. Educational advisors (previously Connexions) and the school advise on further education. If attending, Disabled Children’s Team advise on potential future services or current services required. Discussion starts whether the young person is likely to meet the criteria for Adult Services and if so, which Adult Team is appropriate .
