Moving from school into adulthood can be exciting — but also overwhelming. At Oak Tree Life Skills CIC, we support young people (16+) with autism, learning disabilities, or physical and sensory needs as they navigate this major life change. Our tailored transition support helps build independence, confidence and real-world skills at a pace that works for each individual.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all service — it’s a flexible, person-centred program designed around real goals, abilities and interests.
What Our Transition Support Covers
We work closely with families, carers, schools, and professionals to ensure the move from education
into adult life is as smooth and empowering as possible.
Here’s what we focus on:
Daily Living Skills
From managing money and preparing meals to using transport and handling personal care routines — we break each step down into achievable goals and repeatable routines.
Social & Communication Skills
We help young adults build confidence in group settings, learn how to express themselves clearly, and practise important day-to-day conversations — whether it’s ordering food or introducing themselves in new environments.
Personal Safety & Wellbeing
Workshops cover digital safety, setting boundaries, understanding emotions, and building healthy relationships. We also support mental and emotional wellbeing through movement, music, and mindfulness-based activities.
Career Readiness & Purpose
As each individual progresses, we explore vocational pathways — including volunteering, community activities, and potential work placements within our centre. This provides a sense of purpose and helps each person contribute meaningfully to their community.
Our Environment
We provide a structured yet welcoming space, free from judgement and full of encouragement. Our team includes professionals from educational, therapeutic, and social care backgrounds — ensuring each young person is supported holistically.
We also maintain low staff-to-service user ratios, allowing time, patience and personalised support every step of the way.
