Hi,The personal assistants are provided by the IWA and, as such, they're not insured for driving while working with you. Just a 'heads up' on that.

Hi John,Really sorry to hear that the program with N.L.N did not suit you or in fact wasnt flexable enough for your needs, it is very important to have a good tutor when learning the modules. Im only impared 3yrs so adjusting to such a different method of learning was difficult at first but I must agree that a healthy balance of a tutor that isnt frustrated combined with a level ofcommitment from both parties is important.As for travel might I suggest that the health board may be able to provide a personal assistant who may be able to drive you to meetings, you could have up to 30hrs I believe per week. (just a suggestion), As for you not enjoyingthe meetings that much, iv no suggestions there, perhaps a can of redbull...hee Anyway best of luck whatever you decide im sure theres other options, when it comes to computer literacy for ourselves. All suggestionswelcome. Kind Regards Aine Mae
