We are excited to be hosting another free training webinar for our support coordinaton and professional community. April 2 was World Autism Awareness Day and to show our support, we decided to do the next webinar on Supporting Autistic Adults with Behavioural Therapy and Strategies.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is commonly used to treat a variety of conditions including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The talking therapy can help patients manage their problems by helping them recognize and understand how their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions affect each other.
In this webinar training session, we will be joined by a Behavioural Therapist and one of our Support Workers. Both have lived experience working with autistic adults and understand best practices for behaviour management strategies.
Caring for a loved one who has a disability or chronic illness can be both a rewarding and challenging experience. However, at times, it can get emotionally and physically demanding, and it’s not uncommon for caregivers to experience burnout and want a break. Respite care is a service that provides temporary relief to caregivers, giving them a break from their caregiving responsibilities. In this article, we’ll explore how respite care can help carers recharge and prevent burnout.
Recently, we held a special Family Fun Day packed with entertainment at the Livingston Reserve in Cranbourne East on Sunday, 30 April 2023. It was a chance to raise much needed awareness about supporting footy players with disability.
Our Parent to Parent Sessions are a great chance to stay connected online and meet new people going through similar parenting issues or have questions regarding the NDIS application process.
Are you a fan of comics, cosplay or gaming? You should join us at Grattan House in June to visit the Comic Con Exhibition in the city for the weekend. The Comic Con Exhibition held at Melbourne Exhibition Center. There will be a Cosplay parade, lip sync battles in costumes, a music and enterainment stage, a variety of gaming districts (PC, console and table top), and a just dance arena.
Winter break is coming up, and why not have a bright and colourful time in the city? Grattan House has a light and colour themed respite 3 night getaway experience in the city.
Support coordination is an essential part of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It involves working with a support coordinator to identify and connect with the necessary services and support to meet your disability related goals. It is also a vital service for people with disabilities and their loved ones, as it can help them access a wide range of services they may not have been aware of otherwise.
