Want to join our team and org that values people and supporting wellbeing first and foremost? Talk to us about different employment options available.She came to us as a very experienced Speech Pathologist running her own business. Alongside her own business supporting people who use AAC, she wanted to be immersed in the work that we do to continue to grow her own knowledge and practice.
Not only were we gifted with her skills and approaches to supporting people with disability, she gained a lot of knowledge and strengthened her approaches to getting to the heart of what really matters to promote people's quality of life and wellbeing in ways that supports regulation. She strengthened her approaches to the core role of AAC support to meet underlying needs and to truly walk in partnership with people to self determine in ways that matter to them. And as part of our incredible team she supported us all to grow alongside each other.
We are excited because her being part of our team was never to do PBS and SP work as her career but as a stepping stone to doing good work that will make a difference in other ways. She is now moving on to non NDIS AAC support for people and families and we know that what she will take with her is an approach that will make an incredible difference in people's lives.
We can't wait to see what she brings to this space to continue to build good practice and support the values of Microboards Australia in her new role.
Elissa lives in Bundaberg Queensland and came to us wanting to work with our incredible team based on our values and approach to partnership models of practice.
She also wanted to be immersed in a team that lives and breathes the promotion of rights, wellbeing and self determination of all people with disability driven by family leadership organisation.
Elissa is a psychologist with a specific background in early years education and family support. She lives and breathes family centred practice.
Elissa is open to new referrals in her area. So if you know of anyone who needs support, please go to our website and let us know!

"I just wanted to share my experience.
Today, the most lovely people arrived at 7:00am to pack the few things I have not packed yet, to prepare for our move.
Were they kind – YES
Did they ask my permission –YES
Did I know they were coming and what they were here for - YES
Did I feel Regulated – NO NO NO !!!!
I had to lay in my bed for half an hour in response to my body's automatic stress response and my partner was very neuro-affirming and let me 💕
It has really reminded me to think about the things that matter for the people I support, when we are looking for the “reasons” and perhaps when we are actively proactively supporting and 'meeting needs'. For me, all the right supports were in place!
I think people coming in and out of your home and your personal space and the expectation to “trust” them is a very important “reason” we need to consider. That people simply might let us know they feel unsafe at any time, in ways that others find challenging.
It reinforced why we need to focus on in the moment support when they are struggling, and not to have support plans that focus on desensitising and just skill building (coping with challenging situations/getting over it).
It made me think even more about pre-empting tricky situations and being there to provide regulation support in the moment, because stress responses can happen at any time.💕
