meeting at school

I have had quite an interesting day. I went in to school this morning, initially to help out with a photography lesson, but they asked me to meet the head of the boarding unit, nick, about helping out with a student. I think I've mentioned the student in question here before - he's the only VOCA user in school, but I guess his main problem is he lacks confidence. He's been at school since he was about 5, and will leave in a couple of years, but going out, especially on busses, seems to scare him. They want me and another volunteer with CP, Jim, to work with him to try to increase his confidence. We use public transport almost daily, and if we could help the student increase hiss confidence with busses it would be a major step towards his independence. In my opinion he has to start using his communication aid more, too. Anyway, looks like this project will certainly keep me occupied.

That's what special school does to you. Next step - day centre. Then death.
