-
Sova are working with a new project called Transform. Our main aim is to offer support to those who have completed the Hidden Difficulty Questionnaire. The HDQ will highlight those who have a low/medium/high tendency of Dyslexia/Dyspraxia/Autism/ADHD. It will be an 18 month contract till March 2010 and we will be based in three establishments. These are HMP/YOI Drake Hall, HMP Hewell and HMYOI Brinsford.
Transform will offer the following service:
Provide information on how to cope with their hidden difficulty
To develop strategies and activities that will enable them to reduce the negative impact of their hidden difficulty.
Support them to gain Employment or Training upon release
Job Club
Offer support and guidance when completing job and college application forms
Confidence building
Offering understanding of how to deal with their hidden tendency and how to manage the obstacles faced in life
A Mentor to support them whilst in custody or upon release
