Supersaurus was founded seven years ago by Brett and Kelly Ritchie (Psychologist). After our son was diagnosed with Autism we began searching for assistive therapies in our area. To our dismay there were no services providing supported social interaction and early intervention development programs. We were disappointed and confused as were other local families with similar challenges. In April 2017 we opened our first Supersaurus centre and began our journey with the support of twenty-five local families. By word of mouth, we quickly grew and seven years later we are proud to support over one hundred and sixty families. In that time, we have never had the need to advertise for clients as our books are consistently full.
