Testimonials

‘That's smashing, thank you for all of your help with this and getting it done so quickly. It's been a pleasure dealing with you and you can pass on mine and my Mom's compliments to your manager’
‘Thank you so much first of all for your visit to Mum and secondly for your prompt and well written report. I didn’t realise how much work it entailed for you. Mam was delighted with how easy you were to talk to but was relieved it was over as she can get quite anxious about these things.’
Occupational Therapist ‘Gave us invaluable, insightful advice when we were in the very initial stages of setting up our classroom for (secondary school) children on the autism spectrum... The impact was to create rooms that supported the learning and social development of our learners’.
The ‘advice when it came to furnishing our classrooms was practical and smacked of common sense. Her approach is solution-orientated with the learner being place at the core of everything she suggests.
‘thanks to’ the occupational therapists ‘experience, knowledge and skills, our classrooms are place where our learners want to be’. K. Golden, School Principal, Mayfield Community College.
Thank you so much for your help. Thanks to your professional assessment, the government agency for which I work has agreed to provide all of the equipment and supports I need to work painlessly and efficiently. The service you and your colleague Abbie provided was very professional and knowledgeable. As a client, I felt listened to and supported. During the assessment, I was also provided with practice-focused tips to help make my day-to-day office work easier
