Broaden Your Horizons
Broaden Your Horizons is a centralised website that houses resources relating to young people with disability. The aim is to create an easy-to-navigate and time-efficient way to source targeted transition information for young people.
The website caters to young people with visible disability such as vision and hearing impairment and physical and intellectual disability but also those with hidden disability such as mental illness, autism spectrum disorders and learning disability.
This resource is committed to providing comprehensive information about available post school options and support services. On the site you will find information on education and employment, government initiatives, mentoring, a range of disabilities as well as an outline of adaptive technology options and useful links. There are also details of leisure programs and respite services.
It is imperative that access and awareness to this information is readily available from the initial phases of planning for transition to ensure that the outcomes for young people with disability are greatly enhanced.
