Ms Toni O'Dwyer:

I briefly mentioned it. We are four years running the TY programme which is a very specific, individualised programme for students with visual impairment. It has proven to have a massive impact in terms of students preparing to transition into third level. We now have the first cohort of those who have transitioned into higher education. We address the whole area of access to information in terms of efficiency and independence around accessing information.

Then there is the whole area of work experience, work etiquette and work knowledge where incidental learning is missing for people who do not see what a workplace might look like or what different careers look like. I firmly believe that an individualised transition programme is the only thing that will have a high impact.
