Empowering Independence, Supporting Growth

Whole Self neurodivergent teen support program

Whole Self Independent Life Learning (W.I.L.L) is an evidence-informed, capacity-building support service helping neurodivergent teens and young people strengthen everyday skills, increase confidence, enhance emotional regulation and participate meaningfully in family, school and community life.Real-world learning. Skill development that lasts. Situational learning that works.

Our Purpose

We support young people to learn in real-life settings, practise skills where they matter most and build capacity across environments that shape their futures. Our model emphasises:

Situational learning — building skills through real experiences
Neurodiversity-affirming support
Co-regulation and relationship-centred practice
Low-arousal, strengths-based approaches
Allied-health aligned strategies
Skill development for independence and participation

We work collaboratively with families, schools and allied health professionals to reinforce meaningful skill growth and positive outcomes.

Why Whole Self Works

Skills That Transfer

Rather than learning in isolation, we support young people to practise skills where they naturally occur — at home, in the community, at school and in life transitions. This situational learning approach improves confidence, generalisation of skills and long-term independence.

Partnership with Families

Parents and caregivers are part of the learning process — because real change happens when everyone has the tools, strategies and understanding to support growth.

Aligned with NDIS Goals

Our supports build capacity in areas recognised by the NDIS Improved Daily Living and Capacity Building frameworks, focusing on independence, participation and quality of life.
