Student & Partner Reviews
“Before, I was totally dependent on people to read and write. I am now able to do things on my own. I’m able to do my higher studies. I now have a good understanding of my strengths and interests. I also have a good awareness about the career I need to choose.”
“Before the course I used to worry that there were many things I enjoyed that I could not do alone due to my disability – like travelling alone, or shopping. This course has given me a hands-on experience of how to take and refuse help, so now I can be independent and make a choice about when I need assistance, with dignity.”
