Do you or someone you know want to build their independence by travelling independently?
DSQ’s Travel Training manual has been developed to provide structured training, tools and resources for people with an intellectual disability wanting to travel independently.
About the Travel Training
This manual is designed for an individual (the traveller) to work through with the support of a ‘travel coach’ whether that be a parent, carer, friend, or support worker.
Travel coaches who will assist the individual with an intellectual disability, have all the tools and guidance needed to facilitate a training tailored to a traveller’s skill level. Included in the manual are homework activities and assessment tools that are designed to be written on/filled in while on the go.

The guide provides a range of resources for all parties involved:
