My Independence

About this course

What is My Independence?

My Independence is a suite of four certificated programmes for young people with a range of special educational needs. Mapped to the preparing for adulthood (PfA) pathways, My Independence is ASDAN’s key programme to achieve positive outcomes for young people with an education, health and care plan (EHCP).

The key aims of the My Independence programmes are to raise aspirations and specifically address the needs of young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), severe learning difficulties (SLD) and moderate learning difficulties (MLD) through meaningful and creative learning opportunities.

Each programme provides a real-life context to reward achievement and foster the personal, social and work-related abilities of all learners by focusing on a person-centred planning approach.

My Independence has been created in collaboration with NDTi, nationally recognised experts in special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and co-designed with a range of practitioners.

The programmes can be used within an existing curriculum or to shape a curriculum that promotes preparing for adulthood outcomes.
