Live Free Support Services tailors learning activities for people with Autism and other neurodiversity. Our Come – Connect – Activities are suitable for individuals and groups so you can engage at your own pace.
Come Connect Activities for Neurodiverse People
Some people are highly social and love opportunities to interact with people they know and may enjoy meeting new people. For others, the notion of a social activity conjures up fear and anxiety and the mere mention of a ‘group’ puts up a psychological barrier.
Live Free’s Upcoming Activities
Removing Learning Obstacles for Neurodiverse People
At Live Free Support Services, our mission is to remove the obstacles that exist for people in the disability community, so we are designing our activities differently.
We appreciate all the steps on a customer’s journey are huge. We know that we can turbo-charge the learning process if we set up the right conditions and we find the right fit between our staff and the person that matters.
Fun Learning Activities
Our activities are new and will be loved by people who appreciate the novel and like to “mix things up”. But we also make activities predictable so those people who need structure can enjoy them too.
These activities are suitable for people who find socialising easy, as well as for those who are challenged by it. We couple excitement with predictability, and we structure the process so each customer can feel safe, and then they can grow.
Regularly Updated Activities
We intend to introduce new activities to keep things fresh and work alongside our customers as they evolve. These are the first of our new activity options!
Tailored Activities for Neurodiverse Minds
All our activities are designed for neurodiverse minds and delivered using Principles for Universal Design for Learning. In saying that, they are 100% designed to be fun and tailored to each customer’s needs.
We do this by:
- Training our staff
- Spending time researching the design and development of programs
- Working with customers to develop clear individualised plans
- Matching Support Workers to customers.
In a nutshell, we customise our strategies for each customer so our support workers can accompany participants at their own pace and in their preferred way.
Human Development and Skill Building
Our activities have human development and skill building techniques woven throughout. Importantly, we hack-in techniques that help us all to self-regulate, build interoception, and self-awareness. We ll find out what else you need and adapt our activities and conditions to suit your learning needs.
For instance, some participants may choose to come early and others start late, to manage sensory and social conditions.
