ASDAN "Towards Independance"
Aims
ASDAN is an awarding body and the aim of the “Towards Independence” award is to provide a framework of activities through which personal, social and independence skills can be developed and accredited for those with severe (SLD) and profound multiple learning difficulties (PMLD)
Structure
- Towards Independence offers formal recognition for small steps in achievement towards a larger goal, as modules can be used separately and accumulated to build up a record of personal achievements.
- The initial module, Starting Out, is mandatory and provides the opportunity for the candidates to be helped to recognise achievements and identify learning challenges for the future, so that relevant modules can be identified.
- As with Transition Challenge, Towards Independence includes a facility for indicating the level of support required for completing the activities.
This year at Redbridge we are working towards awards in the following modules: Independent Living, Work Awareness, World of Work, Using Transport, Out in the Community, Creativity, Photography, Making Pictures, Myself and Others.
Here are some pictures from our ASDAN studies.
