An essential handbook for parents, carers and educators of young people with special needs, this companion volume to the highly acclaimed Children with Special Needs covers the assessment of and procedure for young adults. Further and higher education institutions have now been taken out of LEA jurisdiction, and this book provides a detailed guide to the most recent developments in law and practice, including how to approach and identify the problem, the difference in dealing with those with or without previous statements, the legal duties of the institutions, and how to deal with the transfer from school.
