It is really important that you say what you like and dislike and what you want to be able to achieve in the future.
Did you know?
The law says that you should be involved as much as possible. Your views, needs and wishes should sit at the heart of the plan.
Everyone must listen to your views and feelings, your dreams and goals and the support you need to achieve them.
Have you got a One Page Profile?
A One Page Profile has all the important information about a person on a single sheet of paper under three simple headings:
what people like about me,
what’s important to me
and how best to support me.
A One Page Profile can be a great way of sharing with school or others the most important information about yourself.
