Towards Independence

Throughout the academic year, learners will participate in a variety of projects specifically designed to facilitate opportunities for skill development in a range of areas.  These projects provide meaningful learning experiences, encourage self-advocacy and promote independence.

Learners will follow personalised learning pathways, based on their individual targets.  These pathways can include learning in the following curriculum areas;

• Communication Skills
• Independent Living Skills
• Health and Wellbeing
• Work Skills
• Community Engagement
• Building Resilience

Learners will be supported to recognise and record their progress and achievements in a way that is exciting and accessible to them. This may include building e-portfolios, using written work, photographs, videos clips, soundbites and infographics. 

Our Personalised Learning Pathways offer learners the flexibility to focus on areas of their personal development that are important to them. For this reason, this course is a non-accredited route.
