I received amazing support specifically from Paul. He made the process easy and efficient after waiting months trying to do it alone. Extremely grateful having accessed the service and at the amazing support I’ve received.

My son has recently finished therapy with YPAS and even though it was difficult to get him to engage with her due to his disability she was brilliant with him. She was patient, understanding and very supportive. Thank you for all your help and support.
