New opportunities for people with learning disabilities
|
Students with a learning disability will be attending a new three-term course that has been funded by the Social Services Agency working in partnership with the Gibraltar College.
The course is aimed at enabling the students to increase their social and community skills within an environment that will raise their profile and enable other students on the other courses to benefit from their presence in the College.
The ten students completing the course will cover a range of subjects to include healthy lifestyles, developing positive relationships and increasing independence by developing a range of skills. The students will be based at the College but spend part of their time in the community putting into practice the skills they have learnt.
The Social Services Agency says it would like to thank Victor Hermida and his staff for their enthusiasm and commitment over the last year. Without their unwavering support it would not have been possible to introduce this exciting new course.
It is hoped that the success of the course will attract funding for next year and eventually an increase in the courses available at the College.
