We specialise in weekend, overnight and emergency respite care for children and teenagers with disability. We have cared for children and teenagers with many diagnoses including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Asperger, Intellectual Disability, Global Development Delay, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Longer stays may be arranged by negotiation including public and school holidays. Care is provided in a group setting. To ensure a harmonious mix of clients we arrange a “Meet and greet” session with all new clients to assess their needs and suitability for our environment. The more information we have, the better we can accommodate your child or teenager and ensure they feel secure and comfortable. Dietary, medication requirements and any other special needs can be discussed at that time. About Linda

“Bless you Linda for the loving care given to children that others find ‘too hard’ and for the break it gives the families... Can’t recommend you enough to other parents of special kids... Speaking from experience here.” ~Arna

“As my child has a disability, I’m very particular about who cares for him. I find Linda extremely understanding of my child’s needs and he is totally comfortable staying with her. I find her professional, approachable and supportive. Her communication skills with both my son and myself are excellent. Linda’s knowledge of special needs and her regular attendance at professional development courses, makes her an ideal carer for my son. I’m very happy and very grateful for having Linda in our lives.” ~Peggy

“Our son has proven to have a few special needs including complex toileting needs and challenging behaviour. Linda has been very accommodating and supportive. She is very passionate about children’s wellbeing and happiness.” ~Carmel

WOW! Yesterday Linda and Michael danced at the COMMON PEOPLE DANCE PROJECT Eisteddfod with the Northside Team. Their performance was well received by the crowd and praised by the judges 🎉

The team includes people of all ages and all abilities which proved to be a great mix. They competed against 6 other teams from across SEQ and in the end the Southside Team took away the trophy 🏆

Linda said “We have had the time of our lives! Such an amazing experience to dance on stage and learn so much from our teacher and CEO of CPDP Neridah Waters. A choreographer, performer and theatre maker who has toured the world with her work. We have such a great team! Now to prepare for next year!” ❤️
