Transitional Learning Centre

In September 2018 we developed a Transition Programme for school leavers and those 18+ called TLC (Transitional Learning Centre). The purpose of the TLC group is to ensure young adults with disabilities have an appropriate post-school placement where their needs are met and they have a sense of belonging.
The group works hard to remove barriers to access in the local community, ensuring all of our young people are building skills for life, creating lasting relationships and reducing feeling of isolation. We Support 57 service users across 3 sites (Springfield Road and 2 sites at Hannahstown hill).

The TLC group delivers a wide range of tailored services for adults with disabilities, including skills building and target setting. Skills are individualised and targeted on the needs of the young adults as well as promoting choice and building on independence, creating a partnership working with the service user, their family, professionals and any other relevant persons. The weeks are packed with outings, activities, skills development and other services that all help increase the service user’s independence.
