What is involved

Adults unlike teenagers tend to have their goals set by a certain age, whether it be relationships, careers, family, achieving social independence and participating in the community.

For adults living with disabilities, much like teenagers, communicating and engaging with mature aged participants also presents many challenges. Which why we take extra consideration in understanding participants’ needs and goals moving forward.

This is done in collaboration with our industry approved and qualified therapists who are experienced in understanding the fundamentals of each participant’s behaviour and the best ways to approach them.
