Celebrating achievements and abilities

Rachael finds opportunities with Latch-On

As someone who takes great pride in her achievements, Rachael is excited by the great new skills she is learning at Latch-On®. That is not surprising, given how much she enjoyed school.

Mum Val spent a great deal of time searching for a program that would offer her the opportunity to continue learning in a friendly, nurturing atmosphere.

Rachael loves creating things on her computer and proudly shows family and friends her work, accompanied by her trademark smile.

But it’s not just reading, writing and computer skills she enjoys at Latch-On®. Cooking during home skills lessons, especially when it’s making yummy cakes, is a big favourite.

And self-expression. Rachael is a keen fan of SingStar® games and enjoys singing and dancing to her favourite artists Miley Cyrus and Michael Jackson.

When someone has this much life in them, there is no doubt they will succeed in enjoying it.
