Course Background
After a visit to India, specifically Asha Kiran Special Needs School, Bangalore, back in February 2012 where Donna had the opportunity to speak to the parents and some students about being a disabled person Donna was divinely inspired to write an Independent Living Course. Whilst in India Donna spent time talking to the parents and students both in groups and individually.
Donna was able to share her own experiences of being a disabled person and on one occasion, when talking with a parent, was asked advice on how she could enable her child to be more independent in certain aspects of her life. Donna sought divine inspiration which enabled her to give this parent ideas. The parent took the ideas on board and was excited by them.
This is the idea behind the Independent Living Course, enabling and giving parents the skills and confidence, they need to support their child to independence.
