I really value the honour of having the opportunity to help others on the spectrum like myself overcome presenting issues, learning new skills, gain self-confidence and independence. I mentor many individuals showing them that being different is awesome and can lead to having a very rewarding future and successful life. I take great pride in what i can offer and achieve together with individuals. 

I enjoy many things and am always up for a challenge!

I am heavily experienced with individuals struggling with behaviours that are impacting their lives in a negative way.

Being on the spectrum, along with ADHD, i have a very real understanding of the challenges life presents at different stages, and some of the impacts it can have. This enables me on top of my training to provide a unique, successful individualised relationship with clients.

Wayne

I am a dad of 5 beautiful children, all of which are on the autism spectrum.

 My name is Wayne,  the reason i am a qualified Autism specialist support worker is because; i enjoy making others happy and excel in their life goals, i value being able to make a positive impact on someones life by providing professional support with years  of life experience behind me to enable me to have an in-depth understanding of what i can do to help and support others. I enjoy a few hobbies like working on cars, fishing, camping and anything outdoors, which I incorporate often in my work teaching capacity building skills to aid in self-esteem and independence.

Having children of my own on the spectrum gives myself the motivation to excel in my career, as i understand how hard it is to receive the right type of support and care for people that are also autistic,  i can also understand the daily struggles in day to day life for others that are on the spectrum, and the challenges it can present.

• Certificate 4 in Disability 
• Certificate 3 in Security operations
• Certificate 3 in Meat processing (boning room)

Company history

The business was developed due to personal struggles, based on the fact, that no past or current company could adequately provide productive support for both myself, and my four children, we all have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). My personal experiences, along with other parents who have family members on the spectrum, were encountering the same struggles in relation to lack of knowledgeable flexible support that was accessible and affordable. I already had previous business owner experience along with counselling experience and a training background with Lifeline Australia, so I decided that the autism community was desperate for change, innovation, knowledge, flexible deliveries and affordability to ensure families were receiving the very best of care. I realized that I could utilize my skills, knowledge and life experiences, and apply it to this area that I am passionate about in order to reach this goal. I attended and completed multiple training courses, including university (obtaining a post graduate degree in autism studies) to ensure my clients were receiving the highest possible care and professional support that I could offer. I became a registered service provider for NDIS in 2017. Since then the business has boomed to the point where I now have a small team of three employee’s (all of which are on the spectrum and/or have children on the spectrum) that are continually training and improving while providing the highest professional level of care and support for a wide diversity of clients. In 2019 I have been nominated for the Telstra woman’s small business awards due to our innovative and unique approach to client care and support, our specialization in; nonverbal level three autistic children, sensory/dietary solutions for autistic individuals and community access and inclusion. We are currently in the running for the Queensland state finals. We currently have a client base of 370 individuals that are spread out over a 5ookm radius. We are the only mobile specialists in this radius to date. We are consistently creating, designing and implementing new programs for children under 18 years, and training packages for personal development for other companies that are delivered by us to help improve the consistency of autism related deliveries of support across QLD. The business started out as an unfamiliar household name and has fast become one of the leading professional services for autism in Queensland. Our policies, procedures, frameworks and codes are regularly reviewed to match the current market, while also anticipating the future market.
