Down Syndrome: Post-School Options and Life Transitions
Exploring employment, further education, and independent living for young adults with Down Syndrome.
Life After High School
The transition from school to adult life is a major milestone for young people with Down Syndrome. Australia's NDIS offers several pathways to ensure this transition is successful.
Inclusive Education
Many TAFEs and universities now offer modified courses designed for people with intellectual disabilities, focusing on practical life and work skills.
Supported Employment
Social enterprises and inclusive companies provide supportive environments where individuals can gain valuable experience and earn a wage.
The key is starting the planning process in Year 10 to ensure the right supports are in your NDIS plan before school ends.
