Preparing children with SEND for adult life

Information for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) about the time before and after you turn 18.

Before you are 18 years old, various council children’s services can help you. When you reach 18, you will become an adult and that support will end.

Find out:

  • how your support will change from age 14 to 18
  • how you can take more control of your life from age 18 to 25 – this time is often called transition.
