Student Comments

"This course is exactly what my son needs. He is leaving and coming home independently, normally he doesn’t leave the house without me.

He is happy with the course and his confidence is gradually growing. I am confident he will in time be able to ask for advice, go to a job interview and become a more independent person.

I am so happy that the course is available to help people in my son’s situation. So he will grow into the adult I would love him to be. To teach him and guide him of what is expected of him. But most importantly, his increasing confidence.” Mother of Student 2019
