Support for Neurodivergent Children
We connect families of autistic and ADHD children, and other neurodivergent kids, with caregivers and allied health professionals who understand their unique needs.
Types of Support Available
From everyday in-home support to specialist allied health services, we help families build the right team around their child.
In-Home Support
Caregivers and support workers who understand sensory needs, routines, and communication preferences that help neurodivergent children feel secure at home.
Behavioural Support
Connections to allied health professionals who can help develop positive behaviour support strategies tailored to your child and family.
Speech & Communication
Access to speech pathologists experienced in supporting communication differences, including non-verbal and alternative communication approaches.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists who can support sensory regulation, fine motor skills, and everyday independence goals.
Social Skill Development
Support workers and therapists who help children build social connection skills at a pace that suits them.
Family & Sibling Support
Recognising that a child's neurodivergence affects the whole household, with guidance and respite options for parents and siblings too.
How We Approach Matching
Individual Needs First
Every neurodivergent child is different. We take the time to understand your child's specific communication style, sensory profile, and routines before suggesting a match.
Experience, Not Just Qualifications
Beyond formal qualifications, we consider a caregiver or professional's practical experience supporting neurodivergent children.
Consistency Matters
We understand how important consistency and routine are for many neurodivergent children, and aim to support stable, ongoing placements wherever possible.
Working with Your Existing Team
Where you already have a therapy or support team in place, we work to complement that team rather than duplicate it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only work with children who have an NDIS plan?
Most of the specialised support we connect families with is delivered through NDIS funding, but we're happy to talk with any family about their child's needs, whether or not they currently hold an NDIS plan.
How do you match caregivers to neurodivergent children?
We start with a conversation about your child's communication style, sensory sensitivities, routines, and interests, then look for caregivers or professionals with relevant experience and an approach that's likely to be a good fit.
Can a support worker help with therapy goals set by our OT or speech pathologist?
Yes, many of our support workers are experienced in reinforcing strategies set by allied health professionals as part of everyday care, complementing formal therapy sessions.
What if the first match isn't the right fit?
Finding the right fit for a neurodivergent child can take some trial and adjustment. Let us know if something isn't working and we'll talk through what needs to change and look at alternative matches.
Do caregivers receive specific training in neurodiversity?
Many caregivers in our network have direct experience or relevant training in supporting neurodivergent children. We're always working to expand access to further training in this space and can advise you on a specific caregiver's background.
