Sophie wanted to take part in Travel Training to independently access college and her wider community.
Sophie worked with her Travel Mentor once a week on the return journey. Sophie began by travelling with her mentor, but as she became more confident and her road safety improved, Sophie walked ahead whilst her mentor observed. After a few weeks, Sophie’s confidence had improved hugely and she began to travel on the bus by herself whilst her mentor followed in a car. She then went on to travel without her mentor.
Sophie’s Travel Mentor worked with Sophie and her family to create a personalised programme which allowed her to achieve at her own pace. Sophie has gone on to learn new routes and has increased her life long opportunities.
