Testimonial
“I would like to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to Jo Harris, who undertook a complex, comprehensive sensory assessment for me. Jo has exceeded my professional expectations. As a Social Worker of 30 years, I am well versed in working with a myriad of professionals from a spectrum of agencies. Jo has repeatedly demonstrated a person-centred approach with compassion, care and empathy. Jo's personal and professional experiences coupled with her academic knowledge has enabled her to swiftly identify sensory needs, their impact on daily living, providing realistic and achievable strategies, interventions and techniques to support and me to live a ‘normal’ and fulfilled life where possible. Jo has an exemplary professional manner, she is extremely approachable, producing timely reports working with me in an asset-based fashion. This approach and high skill set has reduced anxiety, made me feel comfortable sharing my personal and in-depth personal vulnerabilities. I would not hesitate to sign-post people I support or professionals to Jo.”
