Personalisation in Practice -Supporting young people with disabilities through the transition to adulthood

Description

This book by Suzie Franklin with Helen Sanderson demonstrates clearly how the personalization of support and services works in practice. The authors describe how Jeannie, a young person with autism and learning difficulties, was supported through the transition from school to living independently using simple, evidence based person-centered planning tools. Jennie’s story illustrates the importance of quality person-centered reviews, dispels the myths surrounding Individual Service Funds and personal budgets and demonstrates how families, schools and other agencies can work collaboratively to help young people with disabilities move into adulthood with more choice and control over their lives, and with better prospects. 121 pages
