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, autism and its complexities, and behaviours that challenge services.
Our transitional education day service is designed for young adults who are not quite ready to take the step into post school education, work or to a new home. Our person-centred programme works with the needs and aspirations of our students to help them thrive.
We provide a range of education and therapeutic disciplines to support our students and their families to learn new skills and approaches. Our team of speech and language therapists, education tutors and occupational therapists work alongside our highly experienced project workers to build an extensive individual learning plan, tailored for each student. We work with students in our centres and in the local community to create opportunities for learning and development in a range of settings.
Our centres
We offer a full-time programme of 35 hours per week; Monday to Thursday 9am to 4:30pm and Friday 9am to 2pm. Our Liberton Brae and Ravenscroft centres operate for 45 weeks per year, while our Mussleburgh and Edinburgh centres run for 50 weeks per year.
Our goal
Our goal is to ensure that students have ownership of their learning, experienced improved communication and social skills and have increased access to opportunities. Our transitional programme is designed to help our student and their family to prepare to move on to a future positive destination. We are with you on your journey for as long as you need which means that students can be with us for as long as they need.
Our events
We regularly organise events ranging from fundraising for the charity to events for young people with additional support needs to provide opportunities to engage in society. Check our calendar for our most up to date list of upcoming Teens+ events.
