The many day adventures and short trips Scott has been on have brought him right out of his shell. He has the biggest, happiest and natural smile which isn't something that I've seen in Scott prior to starting at Johnny H.

Since joining Johnny H, I’ve learnt how to make new friends and really enjoy spending time with everyone. One of my favourite things is making my own lunch and baking tasty treats. The support workers who run the day program are really great – they make every day fun and help me learn new skills.

James is also very social and Johnny H enables him to have social interactions with his peers. James especially loves the outings and camps. Johnny H assists James in developing the skills to have more independence.

I have learnt so much since joining Johnny H. I am more confident and independent. I have learnt that I can do a lot of things on my own that I didn’t think I could do.
Dylan
Johnny H Participant
We get to go different places with friends. I've been to Japan, Singapore, Fiji and on a cruise. Japan was a good experience because it was different food and culture. I have more friends now and I am included.
