We work with disabled people in Manchester, providing travel training to enable them to use public transport confidently, safely and cost-effectively in the city and improve their independence. Referrals come from individuals, the Learning Disability Team and other VCSE organisations. Risk assessments are completed. Over the year we will recruit, train, support and co-ordinate 5 volunteers (some will hopefully be previous clients) to provide safe, accessible travel training to 50 disabled Manchester residents. The volunteer training will be accessible and cover volunteer expenses. Experienced staff will ensure volunteers are aware of Training in Systematic Instruction (TSI), a structured approach to teaching vocational and independent living skills to people with learning disabilities. TSI has an emphasis on errorless learning and encourages decision-making by people with a learning disability, enabling them to learn complex tasks.
