Helping those with a disability to be independent is the task of Workbridge and Genevieve McLachlan.
Mrs McLachlan, who is legally blind and has cerebral palsy, comes to Wanganui with her guide-dog Pedro to assess Workbridge clients' needs.
Workbridge is a professional employment service for people with all types of disability.
Workbridge consultant Jan Lawton says when their clients see Mrs McLachlan walk in with her aid and with Pedro, it breaks down barriers.
"We are putting equipment and training in place for them to be independent, and an assessment will show whether the client needs support or technology," Mrs McLachlan says.
