Build Capacity to Be Safe Online Today
The Rising Sun Program – a digital educational program for Diverse Learners – developed by Appy Connections
Hi, I’m Kristi
I teach people with disabilities to skilfully use everyday mobile devices with purpose.
How we can help
Do you have an NDIS plan that includes building your capacity to improve daily living skills and increase independence?
Is it one, some or all of these skills:
communication, social, employment, daily living, recreational
AND
Do you want to learn how to use your mobile device the best you can?
I work WITH you to:
- Meet your individual needs and achieve your NDIS goals
- Match the right technology solutions to your skills and abilities
- Learn at your own PACE in a user-friendly environment
- Educate your support networks so you have support outside of 1:1 sessions
Therapy Assistants work directly with NDIS participant under the supervision of an allied health professional, their role may involve:
- Transferring skills to increase independence across all settings
- Increasing community participation and social engagement
- Practicing and developing communication skills including alternative communication
- Establishing routines/strategies tailored to improve overall development
Appy Connections has a Developmental Educator as an Allied Health professional and a Therapy Assistant.
We provide 1:1 Support on Far South Coast NSW
and provide TeleTherapy services too.
