Supporting our L4Life Families
Our team understand and appreciate that in order to achieve long-term positive and successful outcomes for a child, supporting and guiding their family/carers is an essential part of the picture.
That support can encompass policy, systemic and resource advocacy; assistance in navigating the NDIS, healthcare system and other avenues of service and support; or guiding families through the transition periods of childhood from the early years through to early adulthood.
- transitions into each learning stage: from home to kinder, to primary school, secondary school and beyond school;
- assessment, diagnosis and early intervention options and how to access these;
- the NDIS process, including:
- accessing and seeking an initial NDIS plan
- changes to an NDIS plan through change in circumstance
- Plan reviews
- Letters of support
- carer support and resources
- the myriad resources available for autistic and neurodivergent children and their families
