We are an Edinburgh-based, full-time, transitional education project for young adults with learning disabilities and complex and severe communication needs aged 17 to their 20s.

TEENS+ is a unique service which provides further education, life and social skills, offers work placement support, transition to ownership of tenancies and lifelong learning, to young people who, due to their needs, would ordinarily be excluded from accessing any form of further education once they have left school. Our main philosophy is everyone is entitled to lifelong learning regardless of challenges.
