Specialist Support Areas

Life doesn’t always go to plan. Sometimes it gets loud, messy, or just too much. Specialist Support is there for those moments - when things feel urgent, unclear, or when the usual support just isn’t cutting it.

More Than Just Crisis Response

These supports aren’t about quick fixes or rigid rules - they’re about rolling up sleeves, staying calm, and walking through it together. Each one is grounded in compassion, real-world know-how, and what works for the person sitting in front of us.

Calmer Crisis Responses

Whether someone is overwhelmed, shut down, or spiralling, support should come gently and without judgement. In high-stress moments, people need calm, not control.

The goal is never to swoop in and take over - it’s to help people feel safer, quicker.

Help During High-Stress Times

We offer short-term support and safety-focused behaviour strategies to help during high-stress moments. That might look like:

• De-escalation in the moment
• Coaching carers or support staff on what to do in the moment
• Safety planning so everyone knows what to do when things get tricky
  

Little Kids, Big Feelings

Early childhood can be full of change - daycare drop-offs, kindy transitions, and first friendships. We support kids (and their grown-ups) to handle those big feelings with play, patience and calm routines.

Expect quiet play, patient pacing, and real conversations with grown-ups who care - not just a checklist of goals. We take the time to listen to what’s behind the behaviour – not just stop it.

Soft Starts And Steady Support



Support might include:

• Transition help for new routines
• Calming strategies for big emotions
• Play-based emotional regulation tools
  

Emotional Regulation Tools You Can Actually Use

We help kids, teens and adults figure out what helps them settle - without forcing one way to cope.

Finding What Works for You

That might mean:

• Visual reminders to breathe or pause
• Movement breaks or body tools that feel good
• Learning when and where those tools are most useful, not just naming them in theory
  

Visual Supports That Make Life Clearer

Visuals help bring structure when things feel unpredictable. That could look like a choice board, a steps chart, or a daily schedule - we help create resources that match your brain, not ours.

That includes:

• Choice boards for making decisions
• Step-by-step guides for daily tasks
• Simple communication tools that build confidence

Structure Into Unpredictable Days

We ask what works best for you, not what works for us. These tools are:

• Custom-made (never from a textbook)
• Easy to update
• Made to fit how you think, move, or speak
  

Safety Plans That Everyone Can Use

Safety planning should be simple, kind, and easy to follow. Ours are written in plain language, shaped with the person they’re for, and clear enough so that anyone nearby could step in and help.

Whether it’s risk of harm, meltdowns, shutdowns or something else, our goal is always to keep dignity in the plan, not just rules.

How We Keep Dignity In The Plan

Plans should help people feel safe, not watched. Ours reflect trust, not control.

We co-create safety plans that are:

• Honest about what’s hard
• Simple enough to use on a tough day
• Clear without being clinical

Help for the Helpers

Support only works if everyone’s on the same page. We help staff, carers, and families know how to respond - and why. You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need the right support around you.

Coaching, Training and Debriefing

We show up for the people behind the paperwork - not just the ones listed in the plan.

That might look like:

• Implementation coaching to embed strategies
• Practical hands-on training, not PowerPoint slides
• Debriefs after tricky days so teams feel heard and clear
  

Specialist Support Built For the Real World

None of this comes from a template. It’s built around what works - for the person, the family, and the environment they’re in.

Showing Up When It Counts

This support comes with calm voices, big hearts, and no ego. We don’t walk in with big claims - we show up, get to know what matters, and build things that work in real time.

Sometimes the trickiest moments are the ones where real trust is built. We’re here for that.
