Why

Why do I want to do a blog called Transition matters ??
My daughter was born with special needs.She attended a school for pupils with Special Education Needs.
When the young person reaches the age of 14 years they start a process called Transition.
Transition is too make the process of going from education into adult services.This time is very stressful for parents and carers,you think when things are not going well that they are the only family that this happens too ?? no one else has these complex issues ?? I want other parents to be able to see how other families have coped with this enormous change to thier lives and thier childrens.
With main stream education parents have more oportunity to meet and exchange opinions at the school gate for instance ..... but this usually doesn`t happen with special schools as often the pupils come from a much wider area and are often taken by school bus or taxi.
It`s nice to hear from others who have experienced the process first hand with thier own children and too know there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
