Having Hanno, music therapist from Quiet Current Therapies, at the expo was wonderful. The welcoming stand and instruments were particularly helpful in making the shy students feel comfortable. If you are looking for a music therapist, he's your guy. Quiet Current Therapies

Today, IDEA Services had a fantastic time at the What's Outside the Box? Expo in Wellington. The event was all about exploring opportunities for young people with disabilities as they move on from secondary school.

Our managers, staff, and a person we support enjoyed chatting with families about Vocational Hubs and the other ways IDEA Services can help support independence.

Special mention to Vivian, who said she really enjoyed the expo and meeting everyone 👏

It was great to see so many people thinking about what’s possible for the future.
