Testimonials
“I attended your workshop on Friday and walked away so much more confident about my work as a support worker; you helped me to more deeply understand ASD. You have given me so much to work with, and to share with my colleagues, Thank you again.”
Community Support Worker, Townsville
“Thank you for coming to Kingaroy today. We are at the beginning of our Aspie journey with our 7 year old son. During the workshop I had so many different emotions but the best thing was that someone else "got" and understood our son. The information I gained today was amazing and invaluable in helping me understand our gorgeous boy. Thank you so much!”
Parent, Kingaroy
