This article provides an overview of the methods and findings of a project, commissioned by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE), to explore the information needs of young people with learning disabilities, their families and supporters at transition. It describes how a group of young people with learning disabilities were trained in research methods and undertook four focus groups with other young people with learning disabilities in England and Wales. The different kinds of information required are summarized: getting a job, going to college and about the transition process generally, however with different emphaises from each group.
