This article offers an understanding of the experiences and needs of people with severe learning disabilities as they are moved from long-stay institutions to alternative provision in the community. The article draws upon a research study whose preliminary findings suggest that important information about people with learning disabilities is lost in transition. The consequences of such a loss of information are discussed and suggestions offered to improve practice.
