Collective Responsibilities, Fragmented Systems: Transition to Adulthood for Young People with Learning Disabilities

Abstract

This paper explores the obstacles to the provision of effective support for young people with learning disabilities and their families as they leave school and take up adult opportunities and services. Despite often disappointing experiences, there are encouraging developments that local agencies can build on in order to offer supportive and creative assistance during this crucial period for young people.
