• Rural Care co-farmers and joint degree student nurse/social worker, Emma Lesurf, ran a stall at the ‘New ways to work conference’ on 11th June in Hatfield. The conference focussed on progression routes into employment for young people aged between 16 and 25 with learning disabilities. Katy, one of the co-farmers said: ’We had a great day and sold eggs we had collected earlier that week’.
• Three of our co-farmers finished their college course for the year this week and were awarded with certificates and presents while having a picnic in the woods.
Since 1993, my sole focus as a Learning Specialist has been the critical high school-to-college transition for students with learning disabilities. I am passionate about seeing the postsecondary success rate for this cohort rise, as I feel that many of our students are failing unnecessarily.
