What Can You Support Me With?
Grow and Flourish can help you with a variety of things including development of functional living skills, support with life transitions (such as skills for moving out of home, or from school to work), increasing independence skills, and support with behaviour concerns.
Our Developmental Educators can also complete Functional Capacity Assessments using various standardised assessment tools.
Additionally, Grow and Flourish can assist with planning for the upcoming year with your therapists, and facilitate multidisciplinary meetings if you have complex needs and require everyone to be on the same page or assist with your plan reviews with the NDIS.
Are You NDIS Registered?
Grow and Flourish is currently not registered with the NDIS,, but can work with clients who have their plans either plan managed or self-managed. I am unable to be used for Positive Behaviour Support Plans or Improved Relationships Funding as I am not a registered Behaviour Practitioner.
Where Can You Work With Me?
Grow and Flourish is a mobile service, so we can see you at home, in the community or at school (pending approval from individual schools). Grow and Flourish is based at ‘The Hive’ (North East Road, Holden Hill) and can arrange to meet you here as well.
How Long Can You Work With Me?
The duration of Grow and Flourish’s support will depend on your individual needs and our agreed plan following an initial consultation. Generally, our support is short to medium term, as our goal is to empower you with the skills and confidence to achieve independence.
