“One of the most innovative and exciting things about the engagement undertaken by the CYPSP Children and Young People with Disabilities and the Transition of Children and Young People with Disabilities in to Adulthood Subgroups is the process of involving young people with disabilities in developing the plan from a blank page” – Iolo Eilian, chair of the CYPSP Children and Young People with Disabilities Subgroup.
