A pathway for school leavers
with additional support needs
to reach their potential

Our services

We believe that everyone has the right to further education, regardless of need. We offer a unique educational service for young people with learning disabilities, complex communication needs, and autism

Teens+

Friends+ stands for Fun, Reliable, Individual, Educational, New, Diverse, Support! We help students and their families 24/7 by providing personal support that fits alongside the family and young person

Friends+

Next Steps is a guided extension of Teens+ that enables young people with additional complex needs to develop skills & explore new experiences, and discover what independence can look like

Next Steps

Based in Edinburgh and The Lothians, we are a full-time, transitional education project for young adults with learning disabilities and additional communication needs aged 17 and over.

Teens+ is a unique service that provides further education, life and social skills, offers work placement support, transition to ownership of tenancies, and lifelong learning to young people who, due to their needs, would ordinarily be excluded from accessing any form of further education once they have left school. We believe in the importance of lifelong learning being accessible, no matter the challenges an individual may experience.
