parents & carers
At Steps2life, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive NDIS support for parents and carers. Our clinicians are deeply committed to caring for families and carers who do so much caring for others and are often not given the care they actually need themselves.
The programs we create are done in partnership with parents and carers to ensure everyone is benefiting from the Steps2life care that we provide.
We believe in fostering an environment where you and your child are equal partners in the therapy process. We specialise in teaching children the necessary skills for daily living, while parents learn invaluable knowledge about their child from our therapists, that not only enhances the learning experience of the child, but also helps with further teaching and learning at home.
