Two organisations that share many values and a vision of enabling people with disabilities and their whānau to have great lives have merged in Hamilton.
McKenzie Centre and Enrich+ celebrated the merger at a launch on May 23 attended by their boards, many of their funders, supporters and staff.
McKenzie Centre will retain its focus on early intervention for children from birth to school age who have a disability or developmental delays, and their families.
Their services include family support, child and parent education, and individualised therapy programmes which develop specific strategies for each child, in partnership with their parents, to address the needs of the child and his/her whānau.
Enrich+ will continue to cater for children with autism from five years of age up, and to support youth and adults with disabilities from age 17 onwards.
