Success Story: Congratulations Michael
A huge congratulations to our client Michael, who recently achieved an exciting milestone — getting his driver’s licence!
With support from a specialised driver trainer and occupational therapist, Michael was able to approach his driving assessment with confidence and pass without unnecessary stress.
Michael’s support team took the time to build trust and rapport by being patient, friendly, flexible and understanding - an approach that can make such a meaningful difference for people with autism. They worked around Michael’s schedule, supported him through his reluctance to attend lessons, helped reduce anxiety in the lead-up to his assessment and assisted with navigating the VicRoads system to make the process as smooth as possible.
On behalf of Michael and his mum, we’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to Chris, his Support Coordinator from Support Chain, Greg Ekkel from Specialised Driver Training, and Matthew White from Melbourne Wide Occupational Therapy.
If you or someone you know could benefit from extra support to work towards getting a driver’s licence, speak with your Support Coordinator today.
