The Thinking Ahead Guide – Together Matters

The Thinking Ahead Guide is a tool for planning for the future designed for people with a learning disability. Written by Christine Towers and produced by Together Matters, it contains sections that can be worked on separately and individually in a very person centred way. With sections such as ‘Making decisions’ and ‘Building Networks’, it can be started when a young person is ready to start sharing their wishes and families are ready think about planning.

There is also an easy read version called ‘I’m Thinking Ahead’ that can be used by or with the young person on our easy read page Easy Read Guides – Essex Carers Network
