Travel training: how our schools support autistic pupils

In our education services, we offer personalised travel training as part of our "preparing for adulthood" program. The aim is to help children and young people travel independently and confidently, whether it's getting to school, college, work, or simply for social and leisure activities.
Travel training isn't just about getting from A to B. It's about boosting independence, self-esteem, and confidence. Judith Gibbons, a teacher at Aycliffe school, discusses hor we support pupils.
