Transition from 2nd to 3rd level education

This will be a 30-40 minute information session delivered on zoom for parents or children of school leaving age (we hope to deliver this session live but also to record it). This is designed to support members (and their parents) of SBHI who have Spina Bifida and or Hydrocephalus with gaining info and creating awareness of the HEAR and DARE programmes and where to apply for these. It will also look at creating awareness around the availability of Disability officers at 3rd level and what their roll is, offer tips and pointers around deciding which 3rd level college or university/further education/FET centres etc is going to work best for the student and also to create awareness around the multitude of options available. We will also highlight that we run a What Works for Me programme where support can be offered to SBHI members with applications, sign posting, carrying out visits to educational centres/institutes
