What can Developmental Educators do?

Developmental Educators support people living with disability to achieve independence by:

    That align with strengths and needs and include measurable goals.

  • Teaching skills

    Supporting independence and socialisation including social, self-help, and daily living skills through one-on-one education.

  • Implementing behavioural interventions

    Positive reinforcement, behaviour modification and sensory regulation for people with challenging behaviours.

  • Collaborating with other allied health professionals

    Such as occupational therapists, speech pathologists and psychologists.

  • Providing family support

    Offering strategies and resources for managing behaviours, communication and daily living tasks, along with emotional support and advocacy for families and caregivers of people with developmental disabilities.
