My child with a vision impairment will be leaving school next year. Who can help us plan for the future?
Several professionals can support your child with planning their next steps, such as:
-
School teachers
-
Careers advisors
-
Qualified Teachers for Vision Impairment (QTVIs)
The education professionals supporting you will likely have been developing a transitions plan with your child since they were 14 years old. If social care professionals are also supporting your child, they may also be involved in any transitions planning.
You may also want to talk to other charities about employment opportunities available to you:
