The Post School Service supports young people who have received individual funding packages from Disability Services Queensland and who live within the wider Ipswich region.
Post School Support programmes are designed to enhance Community Access, Life Skills and Vocational Training opportunities of the young person. At Focal a programme is developed with the young person and the family to achieve goals towards personal development, social integration, independent living and employment.
In developing a programme, the individual's strengths and preferred activities are respected. we utilise local education activities, sporting and recreation venues, libraries and community organisations.
