Ben can support a unique range of activities and experiences.

As a Mentor he is able to provide insight into a wide range of workplaces and guide complex decision-making processes. 

As a Support Worker he is able to manage challenging situations and explain the "why" behind "what" we are doing.

Play and talk

Playing games is a great way to practice communications skills and have a chance to talk things through.

Build confidence

Someone with you while you try out new (and sometimes scary) things.

Develop independence

In addition to young people gaining independence, there are also older people learning to adapt to maintain independence.

Practice, practice, practice

From numeracy skills to emotional regulation and other recommendations... there's always something to practice.

Gardening and animals

There's lots to do, from collecting eggs, feeding the fish and walking the turtle, to playing fetch with the dog. You can harvesting veges and repot plants.

Learn new skills

From cooking to 3D modelling and printing. Learn from a Master of Teaching. 

Ben's professional and lived experience makes him a rare gem in supporting children and young people with disabilities. Ben is able to manage the fine line between supporting a client and challenging them to achieve their goals.
 
He is able to manage challenging behaviours and repair perceived relationship ruptures. He is always my first choice of support for my teens with complex needs and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
