Children and families

One-to-one support for children.

Children do best when support fits their routines, interests and communication. We provide individualised support for children and their families across Western Sydney.

A focus on children

Support that follows the child's lead.

We take the time to understand what a child enjoys, how they communicate and what feels comfortable. Support is patient, consistent and built around the family's routines.

Our children's support is practical. It can include support at home, in the community, with daily routines, play and participation, or with building everyday skills.

We work alongside parents, carers and existing supports. We are clear that we are not a clinical or therapy provider, and we do not replace the health professionals in a child's life.

Building skills

Practical support with communication, independence and everyday life skills.

Social connection

Support to join activities, spend time with others and try new things.

Family collaboration

Working with parents and carers so support fits the family's routines and values.
