Back then, the NDIS was still in its early stages and extremely difficult to navigate. Today, thankfully, there are professionals who can guide and support families through challenging times. Susie is proud to be part of the Marli and Moe family and is continually inspired by the dedication and expertise of their Support Coordinators and Specialist Support Coordinators.
