For my first blog entry, I thought I would show you some resources that anyone with a learning disability may find useful. MacIntyre Care is a charity which helps anyone with a learning disability to find either supported housing or schools. I was involved in a transition project some months ago, which set up some useful resources so that people with a learning disability could use their help with the transition from school to college and give some idea of things that are useful to learn about for life, such as finding a place of your own or leisure opportunities in your area.
The workbooks are available online and can be used by anyone with a learning disability, and there are even personal experiences from myself and others to help you with ideas.
Check out the MacIntyre Care website for details.
Enjoy using them and have fun!

I did not know about programmes like this before. I went to check the MacIntire website and would very much like to recommend reading the personal experiences. It is first hand information by participants that tells a lot more about the programme than any description by somebody else could ever provide.
