Camphill Community is a community of people with and without learning disabilities living and working together, on the basis of the therapeutic principle that working together to contribute to the immediate community and the wider community brings value and a sense of accomplishment.

Also in Carrick-on-Siúir, the Journeyman has developed as a 3 to 5 year programme for young people with learning and physical disabilities between the ages of 18 and 25 years.
