Let’s explore different ways we can use informal supports to work towards our child’s best outcomes
Therapy is just a part of the bigger picture. Explore other supports that achieve good outcomes for your child.
There are many ways outside of therapies and related services to achieve goals for your child. They include support from extended family members, friends or free community services. These are called informal support
Come along to discuss and explore:
- The difference between formal (therapies) and informal supports
- Getting started with informal support to work on your child and family’s goals
- Understanding the value of informal supports that don’t need disability funding
- Using informal support creatively
- Connecting to parents who are using informal supports and building a community that makes a difference to your child & family’s life
