COURSE

OVERVIEW

We will work with you to plan your customised programme and strive toward the goals in your EHCP. The course will be outwards facing, and we will work towards supporting you to live independently. Most of your learning will happen outside of the classroom and what you want to learn will determine the rest.
On this course you will do a number of activities to help you become more independent. These may include exploring the local offer, travel and using transport, shopping, household tasks, time and money management, accessing medical help and using IT to support independent living. Most of your lessons will be practical and you will learn English and maths skills in this way too.
