Learning Difficulties and Disabilities Support

 

Schools, colleges, training providers and all other learning providers are keen to support young people with learning difficulties or disabilities. They should have a member of staff who is able to tell you what help they can give.

For each learning provider on this website we hope that there is a contact point for help with learning difficulties and disabilities- either how to contact a person or a website link. 

Connexions  can offer extra help for young people under 25 with learning difficulties or disabilities. Connexions Personal Advisers offer impartial information, advice and guidance to help you make the best choices for your future. Connexions Personal Advisers work in Connexions centres and in every school and college in the Black Country, including special schools and pupil referral units.

Connexions Direct also gives information to help young people with learning difficulties and disabilities.

Dudley Connexions produce a booklet for parents and carers of teenagers with learning difficulties and/or disabilities called Forward. A verion of this booklet is available for adults working with young people at Forward for Practitioners.

Information designed for parents of young people with learning difficulties and disabilities can be seen on Connexions Black Country Website

Skill – National Bureau for Students with disabilities provides a free information and advice service for young people and their parents/carers

The focus of Dudley Parent Partnership Service is to ensure that parents of children (aged 2-19 years) with additional needs have access to information, advice and guidance so that they are able to make appropriate and informed decisions about their child's education.
