People We Work With

services to a wide range of individuals within the neuromuscular community


We as an organisation provide therapeutic and consulting services to people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy & other neuromuscular conditions including the individual, their families, their schools, and their wider support networks. These services, provided to NDIS participants Australia wide, include initial and ongoing assessments, face to face capacity building, training, therapeutic & behavioural consultation, and resource creation for upskilling teams and individuals, and facilitation of social groups within the neuromuscular community.

As a provider, we have a comprehensive understanding of neuromuscular conditions and the impact on individuals and communities through lived experience & academic accreditation. This knowledge is specific and targeted and informs our practice in ways that a simple Google search cannot. We use this knowledge and experience to work towards our goal of improving quality of life for the individuals and their support networks.
