My name is Maddie and I am 20… 21 this year! I have Down Syndrome. I was born with it.
I started at Ecclesbourne School and then went to Horizons (Sixth Form). I then went to Transition2 for two years. I came to college for freedom! I wanted to be independent.
Maddy is a young lady with Autism who was originally at Derby College studying Health Care when she was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). This led to many health difficulties and the College no longer being able to meet her needs.
