This manual was completed as part of a Project in 2011 – 2012 to enable young people with a learning disability living in Northern Ireland to get involved alongside their peers in a range of activities including volunteering, independence groups and new outreach groups.
Each section of the manual contains background information and some practical exercises that can be photocopied and used. Within each section, there are ‘Being Positive About…’ stories that describe the experiences of children and young people with a learning disability who are, or who have been, supported by one of our Family Support Services.
Each section ends with a summary of the key learning points based upon the materials provided and the stories of the children and the young people.
