I desperately needed help with Ethan’s behaviours. Things were really tough for us. Before I found Noah’s Ark, when I first started looking for help, I went to someone who told me I’d have to eventually place him in an institution—I didn’t go back there. That was never my plan for my son. Then we…

My name is Sara and I have two children. At the end of 2012, at the age of 2 ½ my son Sebastian was diagnosed with Autism. It was an overwhelming period for our family as we came to grips with his diagnosis and the lifelong challenges he would face. Following his diagnosis our pediatrician…
Liz, Williamstown, VIC
I couldn’t sleep for days before your first visit. I was so worried … but you were so reassuring and I felt so much better. The best thing was that you listened to me. You really listened. I had the best sleep after that appointment. Knowing that someone is going to be there to help…

My Key Worker provides information that I need to make Bryce progress in his own time and capabilities. She was able to coach me on how to better communicate with Bryce using the sign for help. Our family is very happy with the support we are getting from Noah’s Ark in particular with Bryce’s development. It…
