Young people with learning disabilities in supported internships working towards equality and independence through employment.

[ENIL @ENIL_EU]

"Independent Living/Living independently means that individuals with disabilities are provided with all necessary means of enabling them to exercise choice and control over their lives and make all decisions concerning their lives." (General Comment No 5 on Article 19 CRPD)

Today I have given control of the Twitter feed to our Intern in @TheBalcon . This is a picture of a glass being polished with steam. She does this to many glasses each day! "It's not boring to wipe glasses!"

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

Great example of a supported internship going well.

We are proud to be partnering with #SouthwarkChoices, an organisation that helps young adults with #disabilities, and Bosco College, for the 2nd year running. This year we are very #happy to welcome 3 new participants: Alison, Samuel & Tiffany, welcome to the team! #FeelWelcome

Marián con 20 años, es la primera española con Síndrome de #Down que desfila en la semana de la moda de Nueva York. Un sueño conseguido con esfuerzo y un ejemplo para muchos https://t.co/VjKzBgFKAr

BONJOUR! We're back @SofitelLondonSJ and intern number 1 has already settled in...Barista machine here she comes! (and fingers crossed she selects me to sample her creations)

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

#supportedinternships last for a whole year = transferable skills for your CV - 'I am punctual; I arrived on time or early every day for a year!', 'I am motivated; I showed learning and progress every day for a year!' #essentialworkskills #learningdisability #MondayMorning

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

Today #win for being in control of your own support needs at work! Intern discovered why she got frustrated and her own way to deal with the #stressfulmoments. Another huge leap towards sustainable employment #supportedinternship #learningdisability

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

Being employed is so much bigger than just working #9-5. Today we are thinking of how life outside of work can help...yep, football teams, creative writing, and DJ courses here we come!!! I'm excited #phew #supportedinternship #learningdisability

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

Exciting thought of the week : anything is possible in the future! Thinking about all the opportunities the internship @SofitelLondonSJ with @Toucan1989 is opening up for the interns!!! Thank you

Talking to your employer about your support needs is made easier by understanding how your impairment affects you #selfadvocacy #learningdisability #supportedinternships ---this is our next step

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

'I am who I am because of who we all are' most definitely applies to jobs - having the chance to learn and succeed comes from everyone in the community supporting each other #inclusion #supportedinternship #ubuntu #learningdisability

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

My resolution for 2018 is to replicate the success we have seen here @SofitelLondonSJ. The interns are included, consulted, and valued -- what a great feeling to start off the year! #ilovemyjob #learningdisability #supportedinternships

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

Today's challenge is coming back to work after a long holiday. R & R now stands for Routines and Responsibilities! Reasonable adjustments might need to be thought about...

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

When an intern suggests #lovework as a tag you know that @SofitelLondonSJ is a positive place to be #supportedemployment #AllDifferentAllEqual

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

Happy Friday! What a week of developing skills, creating relationships, building confidence, and going to A+E! #accidentshappen #workinghard #everyoneisok

[Toucan Employment @Toucan1989]

Although it's #LDWorkWeek this week, every week is #LDWorkWeek @Toucan1989, helping to support pwld into, and at, work since 1989!

[Job Coach @LDinternship]

It can be lonely when the interns don't need my support (#success)...but at least I am always ready for passing chocolates!! #supportedinternship @Toucan1989 #LDWorkWeek @SofitelLondonSJ
