I care for S, who is now 29!! (I have cared for him since he was 9.) He has classic autism, epilepsy, IBS & sensory modulation difficulties. When he is anxious his behaviour can be challenging, he communicates using a Dynavox.

Chris, in Hampshire there have been a lot of cuts. One mum I know drives her daughter with Down's Syndrome to a day service 15 miles from her home, following a taxi funded by the council containing a friend of her daughter. yet the LA won't let the daughter also travel in the taxi, because my friend has a Motability car!!

Hello,
I will doing my research assistantship at the University of Essex in October (I'm from Basildon). What are the updated rules about transport for students aged 18 - 25? I know that some universities have additional measures in this case (like the Post16 travel scheme or TITAN transport support programme in Norfolk County).
