Additional Programs

IOE continues to develop new programs and services which provide further opportunities and extend experiences for people with disabilities and their families.

The group nature of the programs encourages socialisation and a feeling of belonging.

Many of these additional programs also have a strong focus on individual well being, both mental and physical. Families do not need to be registered with Interchange Outer East to be involved in these programs. Taking part in these programs does not mean that families are registered to access other Interchange Outer East programs, such as 1:1 support as there is usually a wait to access these programs.

For children and young adults

Boys2Men and Girls2Women are small group, camp-style programs facilitated by experienced staff who are excellent role models, with some support from external professionals.
