Thank you for taking the time to write and update us on K’s
progress at The Works. It is a testament to all the staff at Prospects
that our son has no hesitation in going to his placement everyday.
K is very happy he has been given this chance to show what he can
do, he thrives on working because he enjoys the tasks. If K had not
been given this placement his own prospects would have been very
bleak.”
