Empowering Children with Disabilities

Living with a disability shouldn't impact your child's love for life. Our support services therefore help children with disabilities and their families live life to the fullest, putting no limits on their curiosity or excitement.

Help with Home Life

Get the support you need to support your child.

Trying to balance work commitments, household responsibilities, and your child's needs can be tough. Our disability services help to reduce some of these pressures by assisting with your child's daily care, providing some respite for busy parents.

  • Support whilst completing homework
  • Assistance with a range of self-care tasks like washing and dressing
  • Travelling to attend extra-curricular programs and activities
  • Encouragement to gain new hobbies and skills

Making Friends

Help children overcome their social anxieties.

Within early childhood, social situations are particularly daunting for any kid, but particularly for those with a disability. Autism can make empathising and interacting with others especially difficult, but our care facilitators are committed to helping children overcome these obstacles.

  • Learning key social skills through play with other children, helping kids develop rich social lives
  • Working on interpersonal skills, such as body language and eye contact
  • Teaching children the importance of empathy and kind gestures in building relationships
  • Finding and taking your child to clubs and activities outside of school that they may enjoy

FAQs

We answered your top 4 questions regarding children and young people with disability. For an overview of our common queries, check out our comprehensive list of frequently asked questions.

When is a Child Considered to Have a Disability?

A child is considered to have a disability if they have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment. This impairment may cause mild or severe functional limitations, ranging from trouble walking to difficulties with social communication and interacting with other children.

What Are the Most Common Disabilities in Kids?

The most common disability that may impact a child's development is intellectual disability. This refers to children who encounter difficulty learning at the expected level, taking care of themselves, and communicating their wants and needs. Other common disabilities include cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorder.

What is it Like Having a Child with a Disability?

Although rewarding, caring for children with disabilities can be tiring. Due to their child's special needs, families may struggle to find sufficient time and resources for self-care. That's where disability services come in, providing an early intervention that allows parents and carers some respite to refuel.

How Can I Help My Child with Special Needs?

There are differences in the needs and characteristics of every child with a disability, meaning that the way that you support one will be different to another. However, one common principle is to approach challenges together from a calm, optimistic perspective. Educating yourself on your child's specific requirements is important, as well as seeking support from disability programs.
