You've Got This - Enable Disabled People

Through our innovative self-employment support for disabled people and the established partnerships we have with referral partners, we have achieved many significant outcomes for people with learning difficulties and additional needs, enabling them to secure sustainable self-employment or a traditional employed role

Through the SAMEE teams individualized guidance and support, disabled people are able to articulate their dreams and aspirations for their futures
For some learners, their clear aspiration is to enter the world of work and live independently

To support this goal, we have created a groundbreaking Steps into Self-Employment programme which teaches valuable self-employment skills and fully addresses the holistic needs of disabled learners including neurodivergent learners.

*I.E -  neurodivergent people may be diagnosed with autism, ADHD, OCD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, or tourette's.

Our Steps into Self-Employment programme consists of 4 distinct modules :

 Sharing with You
 Knowing What to Do

 Reflect and Review

Sam's Idea - Enable Disabled People

The course is co-designed to increase the possibility and probability of sustainable self-employment as a positive outcome for all disabled learners. By engaging with one consistent adviser, families and other members of the circle of support, learners will have a real chance of achieving their dreams of greater independence

SAMEE has a proven track record of supporting people with learning difficulties into sustainable self-employment. The disabled people we work with are highly valued within their communities due to their consistent work ethic and commitment to their business

We believe more learners with special educational needs should be encouraged to explore self-employment skills to see if they are able to create a sustainable role for themselves, one which fits in with their disability and challenges

 Self-employment skills including bookkeeping, diary management and social media marketing
