Learning in a different way

Louise
‘I was worried about my learning disability.’
Some of us receive and process information differently making it difficult to learn in a traditional environment. Louise identifies with this.
‘I can get a bit confused. I have trouble with reading and writing.’
Louise has done some cleaning work but she has been out of work for a long time. She really wanted to learn new skills. Something she could add to her resume.
Louise learns in a different way to others. She learns through observation.
‘I mainly don’t write things – I usually watch.’
Louise was referred to PRACE, which is a Learn Local provider in Preston. PRACE offers the type of individual support that Louise needs. She enrolled in a massage class and finds her trainer very helpful.
‘When the class is over she gets me on my own and asks me: “How did I go today and if I’ve got any questions or issues. And she said if you ever get confused – you’re welcome to come and see me any time.”
Louise is developing more confidence and is hoping that one day she might be able to start her own massage business.
