Education for young adults with Downs Syndrome

[Positivo5]

Wanting to know if anyone knows of a college/school that provides on-going education and skills for able young adults with a learning disability. Although my child has Down's Syndrome, her difficulties are not necessarily syndrome-specific so she would fall into a category which dealt with more general learning issues. I just feel that to stop her education and learning by the age 18/19 would be a great waste and she is capable and eager to learn so much more! Thanks.

Most local fe colleges run courses for different levels of ld. Start with local fe colleges. Or try natspec for specialist colleges

My daughter is 19 and will be going to college in September. It's all being arranged via her school. All the children from her 6th form are going to.

All of this came out in her meetings at school. I'd contact the local education authority and ask. They have been really helpful
