Session information
- Title:
- Growing Up Matters
- Description:
-
This session will describe the changes that take place during adolescence and explore the extra challenges that may be faced by disabled children and young people as they grow up. Later sections will explain how missed opportunities can impact on disabled young people in later life and offer guidance on how to support parents who may be struggling to adjust to such changes.
The word order ‘disabled children and young people’ is used in this and all the Disability Matters sessions. This is because disabling factors are most often external to the person and are therefore something that everyone in society can do something about. - Hierarchy:
- Children and Young People with Mental Health Needs, Autism or Learning Disability > Learning Disability and Autism > Personalised Support > Transitioning to Adult Services > Further Resources > Growing Up Matters
