“I learnt to live independently, understand people more, make friends and control my moods”.
“I enjoy being here because it’s a friendly environment”.
“I feel accepted, welcomed and I really like it”.
“I’ve had my ups and downs but I’m getting there all the time”.
“Initially Tutors at my local GFE College and the potential employers I met were nervous about how I
would fit in. Not knowing about autism/Asperger Syndrome is a real problem for many employers and is
something that should be addressed. For me ESPA College staff took time to meet tutors to explain my
difficulties and how best to manage them, this was a huge help and stepping-stone to getting my career
choice of working with children underway”.
“The College has done wonders for me”.
“I like the fact that the staff are always willing to support me with every aspect of my education”.
“When I started at ESPA College I couldn’t travel alone but these days I can make my own way to College”.
“It has helped my social skills”.
“When I first left school I knew less about the world than I do now. To be honest it was my parents' idea.
Coming here has greatly improved my self-confidence”.
“I have made new friends”
