Building independence for pupils to successfully access a college provision

Jordana Lyons

ABSTRACT: Over the past year, a group of Sixth Form pupils have been learning the skills required to build their independence in order to attend a mainstream college. This case study will look at the impact on pupil’s independence and the skills required for them to successfully access a mainstream college provision. The importance of breaking these skills down into small steps and generalisation to different environments will be discussed for independence to be successfully maintained across environments.
