Just found out your child is neurodiverse?

If you’ve just received a diagnosis, there’s a lot to take in.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, emotional, unsure what to do next.

Here’s what we tell every parent in this moment:

You now you just have more clarity to support your child better.
There’s no rush. You don’t need to have it all figured out today.
You are not alone and there is support available that actually fits your child, not the other way around.

Start by learning what neuroaffirming support looks like.

Ask questions. Trust your gut. And find people who listen.

And when you’re ready we’re here.

A mum came to us a while ago feeling defeated. Her son hadn’t left the house in weeks. School was off the table, therapy hadn’t helped, and she felt like no one was listening.

We took things slow. No pressure. No big promises.

Our youth peer worker started connecting with him just small steps. Short walks. A quiet chat over lunch. A shared interest in gaming.

Three weeks in, he asked to go to the park.

Five weeks in, he joined a community group.

Now, he’s back in part-time school on his own terms.

The biggest win? He’s smiling again. So is she.

Support doesn’t need to be loud to be life changing. Sometimes it’s just about showing up, consistently, with care.

Let's start the conversation. Get in contact today.

A lot of people ask what our youth peer workers actually do.

It’s not just “hanging out” or ticking a box for funding.

They’re young people with lived experience, walking alongside other young people who might be feeling stuck, misunderstood, or just need someone who gets it.

They build trust, share tools that have worked for them, and offer real connection.

It’s honest, down to earth support from someone who is close in age that can build a real connection and trust.

And for a lot of the teens we work with that kind of connection makes all the difference.

If your teen feels disconnected or like no one really understands them, this might be the support they’ve been missing.

Currently we have teens who are working with our peer support workers, writing books, getting out and about when once not able to leave the home. Increasing capacity into adulthood to independently engage with government services (Centrelink) etc.

Lots of important work is happening here behind the scenes supporting YOUTH!

When we say we take a trauma informed approach, we mean it.

For us, it’s not just about avoiding harm it’s about creating support that feels safe from the very start.

That means we move at your child’s pace.

We explain everything clearly.

We give your family space to ask questions, change your mind, and tell us what’s working (or what’s not).

We respect boundaries. We listen closely. And we don’t make assumptions.

Every part of what we do is built around care and choice.

Because feeling safe isn’t a bonus it’s the baseline.

Trauma informed care should be the industry standard.

The NDIS can feel confusing, especially when you’re trying to figure everything out on your own.

Here’s how we make it easier:

We start with a chat
You don’t need to prepare anything. We just get to know you and your child, and what’s important to your family.

We help you understand the plan
We’ll walk through it together so it actually makes sense what’s in it, what you can use it for, and what’s possible.

We help you find the right people
We connect you with supports that actually understand neurodiverse kids people who “get it”.

We keep checking in
You’re never on your own. We stay in touch, and make sure things are working the way they should be.

We’re here when things get tricky
Plan reviews, tricky situations, changes we’ll help you through all of it.

You shouldn’t have to figure this out alone. We’re here to make things easier and support your family every step of the way.

We have a neuroaffimring & diverse lead team who can support you in person or you can organise to have an online meeting to see if we would be the right fit for your child / family.

Get in contact with us today, we would love to welcome you to the ICC community.

You’ve probably seen the term neuroaffirming but what does it really mean?

In plain language, neuroaffirming support means we don’t try to change, fix, or manage neurodiverse people.

We support them exactly as they are with respect, understanding, and choice.

Here’s what that looks like at Inclusive Care Choices in the way we provide care:

✔ We listen to how your child communicates (even if it’s not with words).
✔ We never force eye contact, social scripts, or behaviours that make your child uncomfortable.
✔ We prioritise your child’s sensory needs and routines.
✔ We focus on strengths, not deficits.
✔ We understand, shutdowns, and regulation and we respond with care.

Neurodiverse children don’t need to be changed. They need to be supported. We need to adjust our environments to be inclusive.

That’s the difference neuroaffirming care makes and it’s the difference your child deserves.

When a parent is given support coordination funding in their child's NDIS plan a lot of the time they are unsure on what that will look like.

Here are 5 questions we hear from parents all the time (and how we answer them):

1. What does a support coordinator actually do?
We help you understand your child’s plan, connect with the right services, and advocate when things get tricky. Think of us as your guide through the NDIS maze.

2. Will I lose control of my child’s plan?
Absolutely not. You stay in the driver’s seat. We’re just here to help you read the map.

3. Do you only work with certain providers?
Nope we’re independent. That means we connect you with the best fit, not just the easiest option.

4. Can you help me switch from my current coordinator?
Yes and we’ll make it easy, respectful, and stress free.

5. What if I just want to talk first?
Book a free, no pressure chat. We’ll walk you through your options and answer any questions you may have.

When Melissa first reached out, she was at breaking point.

She’d already seen two different support coordinators. Both promised the world. Neither listened to her concerns.

Her child’s needs were complex. But more than anything, she just wanted to feel like someone actually got it.

At Inclusive Care Choices, we started by sitting down with Melissa really listening. No forms, no pressure, just a human to human conversation.

We mapped out a clear plan, broke down the NDIS in plain English, and gave her space to ask all the questions.

Two weeks later, Melissa emailed us and said:

“For the first time in years, I don’t feel like I’m failing as a parent. Thank you for making me feel heard.”

Every family’s story is different. But every parent deserves to feel supported and understood.

We understand parents already have a full time job caring for their child. They didn't ask for another full time job navigating the NDIS.

Get in touch with us today if you would like to have a chat to see how we can support your family.

Is your child really getting the support they need?

Choosing the right support for your neurodiverse child can feel overwhelming especially when you’ve been let down before.

Here are 3 subtle but powerful signs that a support agency truly understands neurodiversity (and isn’t just ticking boxes) or using BUZZ words.

They prioritise your child’s voice. Not just in plans, but in day today decisions. Your child’s preferences, boundaries, and unique ways of communicating are central not a side note.

They avoid 'fixing' language. You’ll never hear them say “overcoming challenges” or “managing behaviours.” Instead, they focus on strengths, acceptance, and supporting how your child already is.

They check in with YOU. Because you know your child best. And they should treat you like a partner, not just a parent.

At Inclusive Care Choices, we don’t just say we’re neuroaffirming we live it, every day.

If you’ve ever questioned whether your child’s current support team truly gets it... it might be time for a fresh start.

Give us a call today or head over to our website to do a self referral we will get back to you within 24 hours.
