“Helping parents to support their child’s development is fulfilling and motivating – you feel that you have made a difference by being on their journey with them,” says Silvana Bongiovanni, Specialist Teacher and Team Leader for Noah’s Ark Geelong.
“Over time we observe families develop their confidence in supporting their child and gain the knowledge that they’re the most influential people in their own child’s development. That’s one of the important parts of what we do.”
For more than 45 years, Noah’s Ark professionals have been sharing their expertise with families, building on their strengths, skills, knowledge and confidence by coaching and supporting parents through therapy, funding and school or childcare. The Geelong team of occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists and specialist teachers have been providing services to families in their chosen environments in the Barwon region.
“Our team is passionate because we believe that supporting and empowering families to learn the skills to help their child’s learning in the early years, can make a huge impact on family life, their confidence and emotional wellbeing. This enables the child to reach their potential by providing opportunities and gain independence through engaging the whole family within everyday routines.”
