Welcome!


Welcome to the Transition Information Network.
This is a website for parents, carers and people who work with and for disabled young people in transition to adulthood.
The Transition Information Network (TIN) is an alliance of organisations and individuals who come together with a common aim: to improve the experience of disabled young people's transition to adulthood. TIN is a source of information and good practice for disabled young people, families and professionals. We provide this information through our website, magazine, e-newsletter and seminars. As you will see the website is still a work in progress and we continue to add new information every day. However, we hope that the website is useful and contains the type of information that you are looking for. Any feedback or suggestions about the website would be welcomed.

What is Transition?

Between the ages of 14 to 25 young people usually have to make important decisions about their education; leave home; get a job and start having relationships. These decisions and changes can be both exciting and challenging.
For disabled young people it can be a confusing and complicated time, as they are often involved with a number of different support agencies, including health, social services and education. Planning should start well in advance of leaving school, so that a person’s needs and choices are fully explored.
