SWAYS - Support Worker At Your Service

Carers WA can provide various short term assistance to unpaid Carers in WA, depending on their specific circumstances. Without carers in our community, there would be more people in need falling through the cracks. Carers deserve any help they can get and all the respect in the world 🌍

The Occuplaytional Therapist
Wow! So powerful. I saw so many of these kids through years in Education. I found a community that learned to uncage these kids. Support them through recovery from trauma caused by systems not made for them. Meet the kids where they are at - often minute by minute. And slowly, very slowly, they recover. They grow as they were meant to. SHINE and DAZZLE us with their brilliance. Proud supporter of the PDA community 😊

Language changes. Here Amherst Psychology explains Neurodiversity-affirming language.

Words shape how we understand one another - and ourselves.

When talking about neurodivergence, the language we use matters. It can either reinforce stigma and stereotypes, or promote respect, understanding, and inclusion. Neurodiversity-affirming language recognises there is no single “right” way to experience the world.

Read our new blog post on neuro-affirming language, written by Director Yvonne Kilpatrick, for a few tips.
