32-year-old man living with Intellectual and Learning disabilities who is hoping to begin TAFE studies and learn new skills

Person living with disability requires a laptop computer to complete online training modules and attend TAFE courses. He is currently living in social housing and needs full time support. He mentioned that he is looking forward to completing some online study/courses.

Mostly all of his income goes towards his rent, so financially he is unable to afford his own device. He is going to continue to seek support through the project to learn how to use assistive technology meaningfully.

He has felt particularly isolated throughout COVID which has affected his mental health and wellbeing. Being online means a lot for him to be able to connect with family and friends and socialise in an online capacity.
