How we work with you

Throughout our three-step process, we:

DESIGN YOUR SERVICE

Get to know you, understand your support requirements and work together to identify your goals.

PLAN YOUR SUPPORTS

Based on your goals, we will work with you and your support network to develop a program that breaks your goals into small, achievable steps. We then put together a plan to work together to achieve these, one step at a time.

ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS

We build on each step of the plan to achieve your goals and ensure you always have a choice and control over your supports. Once you have achieved your goal, we look to the next one while maintaining the skills and confidence you have developed.
