transition to adult services

I am the mother of a 19 year old young man with spastic quadriplegia. Really struggling now we have moved to adult services, in the process of PIP assessment and trying to get adequate college and living provision for David for September. That and trying to have a family life is a challenge!

Welcome to the online community!
If you have questions about transition I might be able to help. Are you facing any particular challenges? I know it can be a really hectic time with so many different elements to consider.
