We also work at times with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Housing, Regional governments, and federal government departments.

- One Person at a Time Together With Families
- Interest and some personal experience in helping people explore creative options around the impact of diet, sensory stimulation, alternate forms of communication and positive, gentle techniques for guiding behaviour.

- Able to work in tandem with families.
