Activities and things to do for young people with SEND
To help prepare your young person with SEND for adult life, you should encourage them to:
- Take part in leisure activities
- Be part of their community
You should help them get the right balance between learning or work and doing fun things. Too much of either may lead to difficulties for them as they prepare for and enter adult life.
