GAYLE (PICTURED) WAS REFERRED TO OUR FOUNDATION VIA TASCARE SEEKING ASSISTANCE WITH SENSORY EQUIPMENT FOR HER SON – ANDERS (9) WHO HAS A RECENT DIAGNOSIS OF AUTISM. Gayle explained that after one appointment with an OT in which a sensory profile was completed and a sensory diet was introduced, they noticed huge differences in every aspect of his life. Used in conjunction with therapy sessions, the sensory equipment donated by the foundation
means that Anders will be much calmer and happier and as a result of this, he will be able to leave the house. Gayle said that this will also give them indoor alternatives when it is cold and wet outside. THAT Foundation is pleased to have been able to help Anders, Gayle and their family.
This year we held our first golf day in the north of the state. We would like to thank the Mowbray Golf Club for hosting the day and all their support in making it a huge success. Days like this would not be possible without the amazing support of our sponsor donors in particular PFD, LION, Coca-Cola and Treasury Wine Estate. We were also fortunate to have one of our patrons, David Foster, attend who provided lots of humour and got us a few extra dollars through his auctioneering skills. If you know of any children requiring assistance and/or would like to make a positive difference in a child’s life through joining the board, support with donations and/or would like to support our events please do not hesitate to contact me (0408 075 734 or csymons@goodstart.org.au ) or contact the THA directly enquiries@tha.asn.au.
