Hi all, I have a cousin who has a mild/moderate intellectual disablity. She has been fortunate enough that she has been working for the last number of years in an office environment, however she is nearing the age of retirement.

What I'm trying to find out is what (if any) services are available to her when she does retire?
I guess I'm trying to establish are there any organisations that can support a person when they finish up working in regards to social and emotional help?

I fear that she will become isolated as a result of this impending retirement as she has got so used to working and having a routine every other day, and I know she will be reluctant to join any work shops that are available (one evening a week).

Any advice would be appreciated.
