Participant

We are constantly grateful for what you were able to achieve during the 5 weeks our participant stayed with you.

You were able to tap into the core of the circumstances and bring about the transformation in her attitudes and outlook.

She is managing her domestic matters with the assistance of the NDIS support and is gradually reducing the hours of support, but we are monitoring this in case she gets too carried away with changes.

Once again thank you for what you achieved, and we speak often about what you are doing and make available in your venture.
