Helping my daughter lead a full and positive life

I have a 19 year old daughter who is learning disabled and has unilateral deafness. She has struggled throughout her life and now as an adult continues to struggle. We survived her school years just about despite having no support and with her only being considered as SA+. Now she's. reached adulthood the full scale of how her disabilities affect her in life are really coming to the fore. I'm not one to ask for help so I'm hoping this community will give me pointers and ideas I haven't thought of before to help her lead a full and positive life.

Just so we can help to the best of our ability, would you like to tell us a bit more about your daughter and what kind of things you had in mind at the moment? We have plenty of friendly community members and advisors who will do their best to offer some thoughts!
I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's school experiences, it certainly doesn't sound acceptable. Have you had a look at Mencap's local groups to see if you think any are suitable or appealing? You can search their groups on their website to see if there's anything local to you.
I have read how you are trying to help your daughter.
what type of work would your daughter enjoy doing and how does your daughters disability effect her day to day.
