A SPECIALIST unit for students with autism within South Devon College has been short-listed in a national awards ceremony.
Prior to The Lodge opening, students with autism in the area were unable to effectively access learning at the college alongside their peers.

testament: Kirsty Randles, Libby Richards, Sue Rooney and Astrid Green short-listed for their work with autistic students
Staff felt passionately they should not be excluded from this invaluable learning experience and so The Lodge was set up.

Libby Richards, ASC support co-ordinator at The Lodge, said: “The Lodge team is honoured and delighted to have been nominated and then short-listed. The team works tirelessly to ensure all our students with autism are supported throughout their college journey. To have this recognised and celebrated is a wonderful achievement and a testament to their dedication and commitment.”
Carol Povey, director of the Centre for Autism at the NAS, said: “The calibre of entries has been outstanding and all the short-listed entries have done remarkably well to stand out in their respective categories.
“The creative and innovative work of places like The Lodge gives us all the inspiration and motivation to keep multiplying our efforts and ensure people with autism get to live the life they choose.”
