Getting A Life is a project for young people with severe learning disabilities. Its work covers raising aspirations, changing the systems that shape young lives, and building a clear path to paid employment. The search page helps you move through that material without needing to know the exact name of a page.

Type a word such as employment, support or planning. Results will point you to the most relevant part of the site.

Many people arrive at the site with a single concern. A parent may want to understand what happens after school. A teacher may be looking for a way to plan a learning goal. A young person may simply want to know what a job could look like.

The main pages are written to answer these questions. The About page sets out the purpose of the project, and the Resources page offers material that can be used in everyday settings.

Use short, plain words rather than long phrases.
Try a related word if the first search does not help.

Contact the team through the Contact page if you cannot find what you need.

Aspirations are the starting point of the project. Young people are encouraged to imagine futures that include work, friendship and independence.

The Accessibility page explains how the site is designed to be read and navigated by as many people as possible.
