Placement for 18 year olds with learning disabilities usually means transition to a Training Centre where basic vocational skills may be imparted. Does education - as distinct from training - end at eighteen? With commitment in the White Paper to a feasibility study for the establishment of a National Institute for Mental Handicap Studies associated with a major university, the further educational needs of people with a learning disability may be addressed in a more systematic way.
