Donaldson's is Scotland's national school for pupils who are deaf or have communication difficulties.
New Transition Projects For 2011
Donaldson's School is running life-changing courses for young adults from all over Scotland. The Transition Project, for young people between 16 and 24 who are deaf or have communication difficulties helps them to access essential services and be more confident in communication, enabling them to live full lives.
Donaldson's has to date helped over 90 young Scottish adults to learn essential life skills such as personal safety, how to build a career and understanding personal rights. The success of the Transition Project has enabled the school to run another session in 2011-2012. Demand is high, but places remain for those who need them.
The first new project launches in July 2011 with the first event, a Healthy Body and Healthy Mind Boot Camp. Other projects will also include: driving theory and training; creating a DVD on building CVs and attending interviews; creating a DVD on deaf awareness for employers; and other vital issues such as accessing services and knowing personal rights. All projects within the Transition Project are free to attend.
For more information, including details of each project, dates, contact details and an application form please visit the Transition Project page of this website.
"Without this education many young people may become excluded from society. With everything from personal health and wellbeing to dealing with interviews and employment, any young person eligible for the Transition Project should get in touch and see how dramatically life-changing it can be."
