Anna and Scott
Before meeting Anna, Scott relied heavily on others to assist him with basic day to day tasks such as booking appointments, shopping or calling suppliers. As a result of his constant need for assistance, Scott was extremely anxious and worried about almost every area of his life.
Through years of patience, consistency and passion to see him become as independent as possible Anna assisted Scott to learn to write, use a computer and a telephone. He is now writing lists, sending emails, and planning dream holidays.
Having access to emails has allowed Scott to stay in better contact with people in his life, send photos and even organise his support services. His confidence has grown remarkably and his anxiety levels have dropped considerably. He is extremely proud of how far he has come, and better yet is still always looking for a new challenge.
