Get to know our approach

A good fit matters

Someone they can be themselves with.

For your young person, it starts with feeling comfortable. For you, it’s knowing who’s alongside them and how that person works.

How Alex approaches support

What that looks like, day to day

  • Enjoy the time together.

    Follow their interests, share a laugh and find everyday things they want to be part of.

  • Keep a steady pace.

    Notice when to slow down, make room for a breather and allow time to wind down before a session ends.

  • Get to know each other.

    Build familiarity over time, keep parents in the picture and work on the small steps that matter to your young person.

Support in everyday life

Start with something they enjoy.

A shared interest gives us a natural place to begin. From there, everyday activities offer chances to make choices, try things and do a little more for themselves.

Music is one of Alex’s own interests. A shared interest can be a place to start.

A few ways that can look

Music & shared interestsA favourite song. A few chords. Something to share.

Playing along, taking turns or working out a tricky bit together. The activity gives us a natural way to connect and a reason to keep trying.

Out in the communityA familiar walk. A local shop. A change of scene.

Choose somewhere that feels manageable, plan the outing together and practise everyday moments, from ordering something to finding the way back.

Everyday independenceMake lunch. Choose what’s needed. Have a go.

Break an everyday task into manageable steps, offer help where it’s needed and leave room for them to do their part.

What we do depends on their interests, your family’s priorities and how the day is going.

Talk about what they enjoy

The longer view

Small steps.Worth taking.

The aim is to help your young person take a more active part in their own life. Progress might show up in small, everyday moments that matter to them, and to you.

What we can work towards, together

  • Confidence

    Having a go.

    Speaking up about what they want, joining in or trying something unfamiliar with someone they trust.

  • Independence

    Doing their part.

    Taking on more of an everyday task, making a choice or asking for help when they need it.

  • Responsibility

    Seeing things through.

    Agreeing on a manageable task, following through and learning how to come back to it after a break.

Progress has its own pace.

We start with what matters to your young person and your family, then keep talking about what’s working and what needs to change.

Get to know Alex

Meet Alex Attard

Hi, I’m Alex.

A familiar face for your young person.
Someone you can talk to, too.

Alex, off duty.A family day at the footy.

I’m based in Anglesea, where I live with my wife and our two boys. Music, getting outdoors and a day at the footy are all part of life outside work.

My background spans the trades, mental health and disability support. Alongside my work, I’m studying psychology at university.

You’ll deal directly with me.

From our first conversation, I’ll listen to what matters to your family. We’ll take time to get to know each other and work out whether I’m the right fit.
