This article offers a critical reflection on the function of education, health and care plans (EHCPs) in pathways to employment for disabled young people. We consider ?the education plan? as an artefact of special educational needs systems. We problematise the often taken-for-granted assumption that such plans are always and only a ?good? thing in the lives of disabled young people seeking pathways to employment. At the same time, we consider the rise in demand for plans that are understood by many as a crucial mechanism for achieving support. Following the recent policy reforms in England, we describe a context in which the funding of education is shrinking and in which the promise of employment for disabled young people has yet to be delivered. We conclude by proposing some changes to policy and practice to enhance employment opportunities for disabled young people.

有效的计划：改善学习障碍青年的就业成果

本文对教育，保健和护理计划（EHCP）在残疾青年就业途径中的功能提出了批判性的思考。我们考虑“教育计划”吗？作为特殊教育需求系统的产物。我们质疑这样一个经常被认为是这样的计划永远而且仅仅是一个“好”计划的假设。寻求就业途径的残疾年轻人的生活中的事情。同时，我们认为对计划的需求增加，许多人认为计划是获得支持的关键机制。继英国最近的政策改革之后，我们描述了这样一种背景：教育经费正在缩减，而且尚未实现残疾青年就业的希望。
