What Emma says about working at Cooee
I love the variety, I love seeing the clients grow, I love seeing the difference we can make in families lives by supporting the client’s communication and helping them understand how to support their child’s communication. I love the team environment; working with OTs really gives a bigger understanding of how to support clients more holistically. I love genuinely making a difference in people’s lives.
