With or without your L's we can get you driving.*
Of course, only if you want to.
Our specialist driving instructors aren't mainstream instructors. They have a lot of training and experience understanding how not to overwhelm new learners with disabilities.
If you don't have your L's we can set you up with an online video program which is especially helpful if reading is a challenge.
* Lessons without L's will be at a private closed road facility
Similar to a hotel we only provide tea, coffee and milk.
This provides our guests with the opportunity of catering for themselves within the budget of the supplied grocery store gift card.
Belong’s video cooking program assists guests to prepare their chosen meal with minimal support. It’s been specifically designed for those with little or no previous cooking experience and learning and fine motor challenges.
