Special Needs

When you reach the age 18 you have lots of choices to think about. Do you want to go to college? Do you want to have some independence? Would you like to get a job?

 

At Connexions we can give you all the help you need to work out what to do next. If you have a learning difficulty or disability, we can carry on helping you until you reach 25 years old.

 

Before you make a final decision, it’s important to talk through your options. We recommend talking to your Personal Adviser, your social services caseworker or your teacher.

If you want to carry on learning, you may be able to get help with funding. The type of benefit and the amount you can get often change. This gives you an idea of what you can get.

When you leave school if you have special needs you have to be assessed.
