Erica

Alphington, VIC

Travis is helping my brother to become more independent in life by using more of his mobile and laptop functions.

He is absolutely wonderful. I drop by and quietly listen in to some of the lesson so I can reinforce the learning as it will make my life easier too. Travis is patient, teaches tips that we take for granted (like where to look on a screen), gives my brother confidence, takes small steps and ensures he practise‘s throughout the week, and is genuinely interested in his life routine so as to build in opportunities to use technology.
