Sutton Independent Travel Training
Independent travel training (ITT) supports young people in developing an important skill for life. ITT has a positive effect on the lives of young people, as well as those around them. Successful travel training enables young people to open their lives to more opportunities for education, employment and social activities.
ITT increases confidence, independence and choice for young people.

Naomi
I have an MA in SEND, as well as a Diploma in health and social care, due to training and employment I have had the opportunity to work with children and young people with a wide range of needs. I possess a passion for empowering children and young people with SEND to gain some level of independence, thus allowing them to become more resilient and live fulfilled lives. I look forward to working with you and your child/young person!
William
I have worked in various education settings such as independent schools and mainstream state schools, across all age groups, from early years through to further education. Independent living for those with additional needs is something I strive to perpetuate into the social norm. Through assisted travel I look to empower those individuals with the confidence and consistency they need to live an independent life.
