Independent Travel Training (ITT) For Students With Special Educational Needs And Disabilities (SEND)
Successful travel training can enable families to do more things together and provide more time for individual activities. Being able to travel with less support allows young people to do more social and educational activities.
Description
The Tower Hamlets Independent Travel Training (ITT) programme is an innovative project that provides intensive training and support for students in the City of London with SEND, to enable them to achieve a higher degree of personal freedom, confidence and independence.
The anticipated outcome for students undertaking the training is that they will be able to travel to school / college independently by either walking or using public transport.
However, it is accepted that this may not be realistic for some students, in these circumstances realistic goals will be set to ensure that there are positive outcomes and a sense of achievement for all students.
The independent travel training team welcomes referrals from professionals and parents, and students need to have an EHCP and be a City or Tower Hamlets resident to be eligible.
