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. For more information on DSQ’s Travel Training project and Employment projects and how you can become involved, please contact Toula Georges on (07) 3356 6655 or email tgeorges@downsyndromeqld.org.auThis podcast is a production of Down Syndrome Queensland.If you have a question, would like more information on any of our episodes, or have suggestions for future topics, send us an email - engagement@downsyndrome.qld.org.au.For more information please visit the DSQ website, or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
