'Moving On'
At some time most people choose to move away from the family home and direct parental support. We know that very often this isn't the case for many families with a relative with a learning disability. We are preparing a 'position statement' that will stress the issues and concerns that families have along with any suiggestions as to the sort of 'moving on' options that families would favour. Please post your ideas and views here. |
