My daughter enrolled with invis-Ability for a course so she could complete one of her sections for her DOE. The staff were amazingly helpful. When we went into the first lockdown the staff at invis-Ability were amazing and worked out a plan so she can still do her full course on Zoom. She has also attended the free sessions of spelling & bingo through the summer holidays. She\u2019s had lots of fun and really enjoys it. She\u2019s also made some new lovely friends.<\/strong><\/p>Tresha 23<\/em>rd<\/sup> Nov 2020<\/em> via Facebook<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
