“We often support parents and carers with information and resources relating to puberty and adolescence and this resource will be a great supplement to our easy read puberty resource for young people with Down’s syndrome. We already love the Learn and Thrive resources, so this is another fantastic tool for our community to use to support learners.”
— Down's Syndrome Scotland

Using clear language and correct terminology, this series will equip your learner with the knowledge to understand the changes going on in their body.

Supported by downloadable worksheets and resources, this understanding will include developing strategies to handle these changes, such as periods and erections, in a private and dignified way.

Learning for Life is a project run by the charity Learn and Thrive. This project provides extensive teaching for young people with Down’s syndrome and other SEND based on the primary RSE and Health Education Curriculum.
