What sort of recreational activities will the YourKids Support Workers do with my child?

Support Workers can take clients out to undertake recreational activities such as going to the gym, shopping, swimming, going to the park, visiting the library or seeing a movie. Alternatively, Yourkids’ Support Workers will support clients in their home to develop independence with cooking, cleaning, homework tasks or general play. All activities are tailored specifically to the client’s needs and interests to work towards their NDIS goals.

“Working with Michael has made me happy! He has helped me to do activities that I usually have trouble doing. He makes me forget about the noise and makes it easier to be out and about. I want to spend more time with him.”

Jack Pazios (age 10)

The YourKids team support my son in all aspects of his daily living and life skills, including accessing the community. They actively encourage his growth and development of independence and self help skills. This means he is able to live safely and happily within his own rented accommodation – supported 24 hours a day by nurturing staff.

I feel very fortunate that YourKids are an integral part of my son’s life.
