Specialist Supported Day Services

Edge Group Scotland provides specialist supported day services for young adults who have learning disabilities, are autistic and/or have other additional support needs (ASN).

Our programmes blend practical life skills, meaningful experiences and SQA-accredited learning opportunities, creating a supportive environment where every young person can grow, participate and thrive.

SQA Accredited Pathways

We offer structured programmes where participants gain SQA-accredited qualifications as part of their individual journey to independence. As an approved SQA centre, our experienced practitioners provide the support young adults need to build confidence, develop independence and gain meaningful real-world skills.
