About Us!

The Klint Youth Transition Program offers a unique milestone approach to transition delivered alongside usual neurological physiotherapy care. We have adopted the most relevant and latest evidence and translated this into our program.

Who is it for?

We support adolescents from age 16 onwards who have complex or significant disabilities that may be intellectual, mental and/or physical.

Why Transition?

The Klint Youth Transition Program was developed in response to observing many young adults in the disability space having lost their functional ability or communication proficiency since finishing school.

An investment for the future by preventing functional deterioration & enhanced capacity for independence.

Our Transition Therapists have additional training and knowledge in supporting young adults with disability, including:

Paediatric & Adult Assistive Technology
Augmented communication training
Advocacy and funding
Developing home and support worker training programs and resources
Delivering transition specific education
Navigating the common challenges associated with transition
