Testimonials
JANET, GUARDIAN

Michele has an innate ability to understand the needs of her clients and through this provides individualised support. At the outset, Michele assessed the complex support needs of our daughter with a disability. Michele built trust and together, they outlined a collaborative, achievable support and skills-development pathway. Michele ensures the person requiring support is central in the relationship and encourages the celebration of success however, small the achievement. This has resulted in many positive changes for our daughter including much improved confidence, independence, and self advocacy. Michele uses her extensive experience to respectfully and patiently adjust her support approach according to her client's needs. To best meet the needs of her client, Michele works jointly with their support group by engaging in open, honest communication. Michele’s positive impact on our daughters’ life is significant and has been transformational.

As a parent and carer of a son who has ASD, ADHD and generalised anxiety, I was looking for a support to assist my son with organising, planning and implementing tasks such as day to day activities. Since Michele has been on board she has helped my son with tasks that, as a parent, I was trying to manage but were so fraught and time consuming that it was affecting my relationship with him. Over the past five years of using Michele’s services, I have seen a hugely positive affect she has had on my son and a remarkable shift in his behaviour. With her guidance and knowledge Michele has worked regularly with my son in the home and in the community. She has also identified and helped implement different goals for him as he matures and transitions out of high school. Michele has been a crucial support to not only my son but to our family too. The family is much more harmonious because I have time to give back to other family members and it has contributed beneficially to my mental health as I don’t have the burden of carrying all the responsibility of my son’s needs. Michele is not only professional, she is so dedicated and caring, a fountain of knowledge in the disability space and she also finds the time to further educate herself with professional courses! I am so grateful to Michele and her services.
