Travel Training

Down Syndrome Queensland is offering a Travel Training Program to all individuals with an Intellectual disability who are aiming to travel independently. 

The program involves the traveler and the travel coach working through the travel training handbook to build skills and tools to navigate a journey. 

The aim is for the traveller to navigate and go on a route independently which will provide them with the flexibility to go where they want, when they want.

In this episode we hear from Programs Project Coordinator, Toula Georges about the Travel Training program, and the great impact it has on people's lives and independence.

We will also hear from a Travel Trainer, Eoin Gibson, and on the reasons why this program benefits your independence greatly.
