I am writing for my granddaughter, Emily she is 20 and has Williams syndrome. Her college is dissmising her in July. I used to work at a residential care home for young adults with learning difficulties, and I have seen much older students who go to college permanently. Is this still possible. Emily needs motivation to get up and dressed. Her mother id's disabled with rheumatoid arthritis. So struggles to motivate Emily. HELP PLEASE THEY LIVE IN SUFFOLK THANK YOU

Hi @EmilyAlfie
You may find Activities Unlimited in Suffolk worth a try - they are creating a range of activities for young people under 25.
Hope this helps, Alex -
