Everyday Independence Interview – Improving An Organisation and its Services Through a People-Centered Model

Everyday Independence is an allied health business that supports people with disability to reach their full potential and to enjoy an everyday life. They build on what is working and create changes in areas that are not by doing OT, physio and speech pathology.

In this episode of the Private Practice Made Perfect Podcast, the Everyday Independence team – Ingrid Cole, Mal Healey and Leanne Healey – share their experience on how using a social model of disability and becoming a people-centered practice has helped them improve their team, participants, and business.
