Product Description:
For someone with an intellectual disability, leaving a long stay hostel or hospital to go to a group home can be rather a frightening experience. This book is designed to help people with intellectual disabilities make a happy transition to a new home.
Not only will the house be much smaller, but many jobs previously done by staff, now have to be shared out. In this book Stephen goes through all the traumas and thrills of moving. He likes his new home, but not everything is rosy. He makes mistakes and has quarrels, but he discovers that people care and understand, and want to help him feel at home.
