Personal Profile Project aimed to test the impact of creative interventions in the transition planning process of twelve young people with complex needs in South East England. It proposed that a short film, made by an artist in collaboration with a young person and showing him or her in a variety of social, environmental and creative contexts, with and without family, teachers and friends, could positively inform the transition process. It would complement the other forms of documentation and assessment and illuminate the discussion between parents and professionals about the young person’s interests, abilities, attributes and needs. The project aimed to both help young people with complex disabilities to communicate something about how they perceived the work and also to facilitate a better understanding of each person. This book provides illustrative stills and quotations from the films created during the course of the project.
