Peter's Story

Twenty-Three Years In The Making

Peter Calderone started in the disability sector 23 years ago and never wanted to leave. He spent his early days in supported accommodation, managed a day program for around 12 years and has spent the past two decades helping school leavers take their first steps into working life. The longer he worked, the clearer one thing became: people achieve remarkable things when the support around them starts from their strengths.

That conviction sent him back to university. Peter completed a Master of Autism Studies with distinction at the University of Wollongong and became a registered Developmental Educator, joining one of the smallest and most specialised allied health professions in the country. Reach My Potential brings all of it together: the qualifications, the decades of practice and a simple belief that every person deserves support built around who they are.

Our Approach & Credentials

The Expertise Behind Every Session

The way we work and the qualifications behind it are two halves of the same idea: support grounded in human rights, delivered by someone formally trained for it. Here's what both halves mean in practice.

Human Rights Model

The human rights model of disability says the barriers are in the world, never in the person, and that every person has the same right to choose, participate and be heard. Every decision we make in support starts from that principle.

Neuro-Affirming Practice

Neuro-affirming support works with the way your brain works, without trying to make you seem more typical. In practice that means honouring your communication style, your sensory needs and your interests, and treating them as strengths to build on.

You Lead, We Listen

You set the goals and the pace, and you can change your mind at any point. We bring options and honest advice, and the final say on anything about your support always sits with you and the people you trust.
