In this episode, Jay sits down with Erena from Abloom Care Services for a real conversation about what families truly need. Erena brings eleven years of experience with ASD, ADHD, and high physical support needs, and shares a powerful guiding question: Who is the person behind the plan? Together, they explore how behaviour communicates needs, how to create care that is compassionate and effective, and how to reduce overwhelm for time-poor parents.
Inside, you will hear • What dignity-driven care looks like in everyday life, including complex behavioural support • How to advocate with confidence, and why families deserve to be heard, respected, and included • Practical ways to navigate changing NDIS settings with more clarity and less stress • Erena’s simple four-step onboarding that centres the person, the family, and allied health teams • Why consistent supports and predictable rhythms build trust and progress • How Autism Music Australia’s weekly live jam sessions give kids confidence and give parents time back
Who this helps Parents and carers seeking calm, clarity, and supportive partners who listen. Educators and support coordinators who value collaboration. Anyone who believes that every child can shine with the right environment.
