7. PATIENT COMMENTS Judith. I reluctantly agreed to give it a go...
Now, I have bought a tablet and am able to , attach pictures, use Skype, do online shopping, and much more... My family is so proud of me. I am much more confident and cannot believe how far I have come and how independent I am becoming.
Olga. I don’t find it easy learning new things at my age. I knew I had to make some changes as my husband’s health deteriorates...
Now, I can Skype and my family in India after many years of only being able to afford to contact them every so often...I can see my brother on Skype after 35 years apart from the odd photograph. I have now bought a laptop and have internet access.

8. PATIENT COMMENTS Kevin. I have severe dyslexia...
Lisa taught me new ways to read, such as using sub titles on the television and reading children’s books slowly to recognise the word rather than guess what it was. Two of my kids are dyslexic and we can now help each other. Passing my English exam and getting a certificate was a fantastic feeling. Karen helped me with my CV and looking at work opportunities.
You have given me my life back and because of you I have now got a job and can move on with my life after feeling useless for many years.
Hopefully my kids will now have more respect for me – can you help me with that too?
