One-to-one NDIS support for children in Melbourne's east

The same face, every time

Most support is delivered by whoever is rostered on that week. That is hard on a child who takes a while to trust someone new, because the trust never gets a chance to build.

Lynne delivers every session herself. There is no roster and no handover. Your child does not have to start again with a stranger, and you do not have to explain everything twice.

Every session works toward something

Sessions are not about filling in time. Each one moves toward a goal your child and your family have chosen, and progress gets talked about openly.

That might be saying a first word, reading a book on their own, being ready to join a dance class, or kicking a football in the park. Small, specific, and theirs.

• Everyday life skills and independence
• Confidence in new places and with new people
• Getting ready for the things other children are already doing

At home, and out in the world

Most sessions start at home, because that is where a child is most themselves and where a new skill has to work first.

As they get more confident, sessions move out into the local community, so a skill practised at the kitchen table gets used in the place it actually matters.

Who this suits

Children living at home with their families who want one-to-one attention rather than a group. Families working toward specific developmental goals. Children who are non-verbal or building communication.

It is not the right fit for adults, for group programs, or for clinical supports such as physiotherapy or therapy delivered by a registered practitioner. Lynne works alone, so it is also not right where two workers need to be present.

About Lynne

Lynne Callegari trained as an early childhood educator and holds a Certificate III in childcare. She moved into in-home care for children with disability because it is the work she wanted to do.

The instinct is to teach, not simply to supervise. She is not a therapist, and does not pretend to be. She is the person who turns up and does the patient, repetitive work that makes a goal real.
