Learning Disability Courses
As a young person with autism (or a learning disability) develops they need new challenges. Raising Horizons have developed interactive elearning courses, on CD-Rom, to support their developmental needs as they progress.
Our elearning courses equips young people with the personal skills they need to develop through their lives. The courses have portability, usability, adaptability and are person-centered. They have been designed to be used in conjunction with a Coach e.g. teacher, parent or carer. The Coach should work closely with the student and discuss each lesson with them.
The major innovative feature of our courses are the ability for Personalisation.
