1. Therapy Supports

Therapeutic intervention focuses on practical, meaningful skills and participation across life domains within specific goal areas identified. As a Developmental Educator (DE), therapy is delivered through a blend of educational and therapeutic approaches - supporting learning, self-development, and behaviour change in everyday contexts.


What this looks like in practice:

  • Direct 1:1 sessions between DE and client, with a focus on skill development within agreed goal areas

  • A semi-structured approach learning in real‑life settings (home, work, community)

  • Development and implementation of individualised therapy plan

  • Regular review of progress, with strategies adjusted as needs, goals or contexts change

2. Capacity Building

At Green Ant, we recognise that capacity building often needs to go beyond 1:1 therapeutic sessions to create meaningful, lasting change. Capacity building supports take a broader, ‘big picture’ approach, focusing not only on the individual client, but also on their environment, support teams and broader community.

What this looks like in practice:

  • Working with clients alongside their families, carers, and support teams to develop skills, strategies, and routines that are applied across home, work, and community settings

  • Building the capability of support networks… providing coaching, guidance, and mentoring so that everyone involved can support the person at the centre effectively

  • Active participation on the broader support team (e.g. participation in stakeholder meetings, working
    collaboratively with other supports involved)

  • Making environmental adjustments and implementing systems to remove barriers and promote
    inclusion, participation, and independence

  • Supporting self-advocacy, decision-making, and choice - and promoting change to enable this
    where needed

  • Monitoring and reviewing progress in collaboration with the person and their network, adapting
    strategies as needs, goals or contexts change

3. Assessment & Recommendation Reports

Assessment activities and/or recommendation reports are about gaining a holistic understanding of the person and their environment to support meaningful participation, independence and quality of life. As a Developmental Educator, assessments are person-centred, flexible, and tailored to the purpose and audience, using a variety of tools and approaches.

What this looks like in practice:

  • Determining the purpose and audience of an assessment and/or report, ensuring it meets the needs of the person, families, support teams, or funding bodies (e.g. the NDIS) and

  • Using a broad range of assessment tools and methods to understand the an individual’s strengths, needs, interests, and the environmental factors that act as enablers or barriers to a fulfilling life

  • Employing person-centred, holistic and strengths-based approaches to assessment and reporting… recognising the importance surrounding clients own perspectives, experiences, values, and aspirations

  • Providing practical recommendations that can inform support planning, progress monitoring, risk
    management and funding decisions

  • Supporting understanding of the whole person, promoting self-awareness, independence, and quality
    of life

  • Collaborating with clients and support networks to implement strategies and review progress,
    ensuring recommendations are realistic, meaningful, and sustainable

4. Consultation, Training & Projects

In addition to direct client work, I also support external individuals, organisations, teams, and communities through consultancy, training, and project work. This work is focused on sharing expertise, building sector capacity and improving systems, services, and outcomes for people with disability. I am always open to exploring new projects and collaborations that align with my person-centred, holistic approach and values.

What this looks like in practice:

  • Providing short-term consultancy or specialist advice to individuals, organisations, support teams, or external groups on complex cases, service design, or system improvements

  • Participating in projects or initiatives that strengthen services, develop inclusive practices, or address emerging needs within the disability sector

  • Developing and delivering resources, training content, workshops, or professional development
    programs to upskill staff, teams, or communities

  • Collaborating with stakeholders, researchers, and sector partners to support evidence-informed
    approaches, innovation, and best practice

  • Supporting organisations and teams to reflect, evaluate, and improve practice, embedding
    consistent, high-quality, person-centred support

All services and supports are delivered under a service agreement, a shared plan that outlines the supports agreed upon between Green Ant and the client.
