"We just wanted to let you know how well things are going with my son’s travelling to Suffolk One. It is totally
unbelievable how well he is coping with the journey from Saxmundham to college. Six months ago we worried
about N walking in to our small market town on his own, in fact he only did this a couple of times and we
worried about him walking to the end of the road to the post box due to what we believed was his unawareness
of crossing the road.
He has been at Suffolk One for four weeks now and he walks down to the station, gets on the train & the bus
and then reverses it at the end of the day, he even helps other students and tells them when they are on the
wrong platform. We have to say that this is all thanks to you, you offer a brilliant service which I think more
people should be aware of, it was strange letting him go off with a total stranger but we also had a strange
feeling of comfort that everything would be alright. You have been a star and we all look at you as a friend, you
have given him the confidence he & we needed to complete the journey to and from Suffolk One safely, something
we were very concerned about.
We hope lots of other students and parents will benefit from the fantastic service you offer.
I should have also said that N's independence has increased 100% since his travel training with you and that
both he & I would be very, very willing to speak to anyone direct or to meet them for reassurance. We cannot
express what a brilliant service you offer!"

“I would like to say how very grateful I am to Alison for her sterling work in training my son to successfully learn
how to travel safely to and from college.
At the beginning of his training I was unsure if this level of independence was a goal that was achievable for
him, but with Alison's consistency, patience and positive encouragement towards my son he has succeeded!
I am very proud of my sons hard work and amazed to see the change in his confidence now that he has this
skill. I am also extremely impressed by the high level of care and detail in the training given by Alison.
Alison has a great rapport with her students and can really bring the best out in them, she is a credit to the
travel training team!
I would highly recommend any parent of a child with special needs giving them the same opportunity.”

“H was very insecure about going anywhere without company. He struggled with confidence with using money.
The training made a huge difference in these areas. But more importantly it really gave a huge boost to his self
esteem.
Penny also gave me confidence that H could do more than I was allowing him to do.
H has really flown this year and travel training was part of this process.”
