Testimonial

To the Team at Yandiah Farm,

We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for everything you have done for our son, Zach , since he started attending Yandiah Farm in May 2023. The impact you have had on his life has been truly remarkable, and we are so grateful for the positive changes we’ve seen in him.

From the day Zach began at Yandiah, we have witnessed a significant transformation in his skills and confidence. The environment you provide is incredibly supportive and nurturing, allowing Zach to grow in ways we never imagined.

He looks forward to his time at the farm, and we’ve seen firsthand how much he enjoys the activities and the sense of purpose they bring him.

Zach’s passion for mowing and using the blower has blossomed under your guidance. It’s amazing to see how he’s progressed from just a basic understanding to now being able to mow specific areas and follow defined patterns with much less hands-on supervision. The growth in his abilities has been astounding.

We’ve also noticed how Zach has become proficient in using the Gerni for washinghorse rugs and cars, as well as in vacuuming car interiors. His attention to detail and his pride in completing these tasks have been wonderful to see.

Despite the challenges he faces, Zach’s ability to follow instructions and complete tasks more independently has improved tremendously. The fact that he can now take on these responsibilities with minimal supervision is a significant achievement for him, and it’s clear that this progress is due to the patient and dedicated support he receives from everyone at Yandiah.

The social benefits Zach has gained from being at Yandiah are just as important as his skill development. The opportunity to interact with others and feel a part of the community at the farm has been invaluable for him. The inclusion and sense of belonging he experiences at Yandiah have greatly enhanced his social skills and overall happiness.

Yandiah Farm has been instrumental in helping Zach work towards his NDIS goals. The practical skills he has developed, such as mowing, using a blower, and cleaning with a Gerni, have been crucial in supporting his goal of living as independently and safely as possible. Additionally, the social interaction and community involvement he has gained at Yandiah are helping him increase his participation in the wider community.

We cannot thank you enough for the incredible difference you have made in Zach’s life. The dedication, care, and expertise you bring to your work have not only helped him develop essential life skills but also given him a sense of purpose and community that is so important. We are truly grateful to have found such a special place for Zach, and we wholeheartedly recommend Yandiah Farm to anyone looking for a supportive and nurturing environment for their loved one.

Thank you from the Botton of our hearts,

Karina and Dave Jenner
