TESTIMONIALS

Matt Oper (Senior Support Coordinator) - Your Path Your Way

The Apollo JR team have consistently provided exceptional supports and mentorship to every participant we have worked with and supported together, no matter their age, disability, needs, or situation.
They have always been accommodating and able to adjust their support approach as required, going out of their way, and above and beyond expectations on many occasions to assist participants with implementing allied health therapy strategies to build their skills, confidence and independence.
While they may primarily support youth through to young adults, I would recommend speaking with them to discuss how they could assist and create a support program for anyone.
