What a day of travel training might look like

A typical day of travel training with us may begin with us meeting you at your place and preparing you with everything you need for the day ahead. We will then work out a plan with you and determine a location and the mode of transport we will be taking. Together with your support worker you will navigate your way to your desired location, learning the required skills to get you there safely and efficiently overcoming any challenges on the way. This program can go for as long as you need it to and can be continued even after you feel confident going out by yourself.
