Once a valued member of our admin team, Chan’s attentiveness with people, her caring nature and love for interacting with participants of all ages naturally led her to commence Therapy Assistant and NDIS support work at FABIC. Working closely with participants on their speech program and listening to their unique forms of expression has deeply inspired Chan to appreciate how important it is to be able to interact, connect and communicate effectively and with clarity. She understands that learning to communicate can come easy for some and can be hugely challenging for others. At the same time, Chan recognises the key to tapping into our unique expression, is our willingness to speak up and let the world experience our full expression through our voice, gestures or other forms of communicating. What Chan loves about Therapy Assistant work in relation to speech and communication, is having the opportunity to support people to reach their full potential, to maximise their individual capacity to express and support them to communicate effectively.
