I have been working with young people who have disabilities for many years. The young people I work with may be kindergarten children ,right through to university students.
As a keyworker, I work with children and families to understand and achieve their goals. We develop a schedule for meetings that suits the family. We meet in their home, at kinder, childcare, school or other community locations. Whatever the family prefers.
I also work with children who have challenging behaviours.
Maybe a family wants to be able to take their child shopping without tantrums. Or wants siblings to be able to communicate without hitting, kicking or punching to get their message across.
I help families understand why their child behaves the way they do. I share information and suggestions to help develop better ways of behaving.
I love that I get to help families when their children are young. It’s a real privilege to help parents feel confident to parent as they wish to.
