Employability skills…
well… i maybe slightly addicted to youtube at the moment, but i really like this video clip of a young man called Junior, who has Angelman Syndrome, developing his employability skills. It doesnt look like the most exciting job in the world, but it does show that someone with even quite complex learning difficulties can master tasks which are useful in the workplace – Junior is also profoundly deaf and has a visual impairment.

Fasinating! Working with young people with SLD the stark lack of any supported work placement even in the inner city is criminal. it seems the goverment drive to get 14yr olds + into work placement and the emphasis on WRL and getting into work albeit working stacking shelves has claimed at least one victim client group, those young people who would thrive in supported work both socially and economically.
