Pich’s journey

Pich joined the DYP Learning Center after several years without access to further education or training. At DYP, he learned Braille, which gave him greater access to learning and a stronger foundation for independence.

He now specialises in bakery and traditional and modern music. His pathway combines hands-on baking, musical performance and music theory with continued English and assistive technology learning.

Taking greater responsibility

During the Semi-Independent Living Project year, Pich’s primary responsibility is working in the bakery. He will also manage more of his schedule, travel, shared household duties, budgeting and daily decisions with regular DYP guidance.

“Living independently, self-reliant, with little support from others when possible.”
