Draws upon data from a national survey of school leavers with significant special educational needs to develop hypothetical indicators of successful post-school outcomes. The paper concludes with an evaluation of QALYs (Quality Adjusted Life Years) as a potentially useful method of considering the value-added benefit of differing forms of provision for differing disability groups.

While life in small, ordinary types homes in the community is seen as desirable for the majority of people with learning disability, it may not serve the special needs of people with more complex impairment, such as those with additional severe sensory impairment. The case is made for retention and development of specialised residential provision for this group of people and for specialised service centres. This is on the condition that, firstly, such services see their function as the provision of intensive specialist help which equips people to make use of community services, as well as that of providing more permanent care for those whose severity of needs requires it. Secondly, that they act as resource centres of ideas and practice which provide training for staff who work in a wide variety of situations with people with sensory impairment. Parallels are drawn between meeting children's special educational needs and the special needs of adults with learning disability. A flexible continuum of provision is seen as desirable to need the diversity of need.
