Social service provision to younger disabled people is not often at the forefront of policy debate. However, the Government recognises the distinct contribution that disabled people make to the economy and the waste of potential that ensues when key services do not assist them. Often the type of assistance that younger disabled people require needs to be more flexible, or of a different type, than that offered by social services. For example, people may require assistance with making decisions concerning work, both paid and voluntary, or in parenting. This study explored ways of incorporating these and other types of assistance into assessment processes. In the study these were called ‘outcomes’ and they were incorporated into new assessment documents for use by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals.
