Self-AdvocacySpeaking up for what you need

Supporting young people to express their needs and stand up for themselves, in ways that feel safe.

Does this sound like you, or your child?

Every child is different. These are some of the reasons families get in touch. Tick any that sound familiar.

How we help

  • Their goals. Young people lead their goals, with support up to age 19.
  • Part of everyday life. Play, role-play and real situations help skills carry into everyday life.
  • School too. We work with educators and support teams.

Sessions are usually 45 minutes, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on what your child needs. In clinic, at home, kinder, school or online. NDIS, Medicare and private. About funding

Questions families ask

What is self-advocacy?

Self-advocacy is being able to recognise your needs, preferences and ideas, and communicate them in ways that feel safe and comfortable. It includes naming feelings, asking for help, making choices, understanding boundaries, and talking with peers and adults.

Do you work with schools?

Yes. Working with educators and support teams is an important part of supporting self-advocacy in every setting.
