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
