What Thida says about working at Cooee
I love being able to work in a small clinic where I have the opportunity to both work closely with families to grow their little ones’ confidence and communication, and support the creation of content and resources that are available online to anybody who needs it. Communication is a right, and I love being able to spend my weeks connecting with all kinds of families, kids and communities to help them understand unique profiles, the skills that go into communication and how to support the children in their lives.
