Why Thrive Learning?
Thrive Learning was created by Endeavour Foundation in partnership with the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). It was developed after a comprehensive research project identified that a structured but flexible video learning platform could be a powerful and rewarding educational tool for people with intellectual disability.
“I have learnt so much about myself and others. I have learnt to read emotions in others, which is an important skill. This will help with my goal to live by myself and have full independence.”
– Maddie, Endeavour Foundation employee, Brisbane, Queensland.
