    Episode 45 - The incredible value of Support Coordinators

    Episode 45 - The incredible value of Support Coordinators

    On this episode we welcome Jason Crabtree from Bubble Support, a disability services and support organisation.  Disability support coordinators play a vital role in improving the lives of individuals with disabilities. They assess needs, develop personalized support plans, coordinate services, monitor progress, advocate for participants, and link them with community resources. Their dedication contributes significantly to the well-being of those they serve.

    This is a very valuable episode if you have considered if you may need a support coordinatory OR if you would consider doing this work yourself.

    And for icing on the cake we have our infamous segment 'Who knows [guest] better.'

Thanks for doing this!

This show is amazing I believe to everyone. It’s is fun, true and minded.
Dan is creative, with huge sense of humour and open to learn. I can see a bit of myself on him in terms of don’t see how incredibly he is in everything he does. And in the part that is to hard to him say thanks or complement someone else’s. I love his laugh.
Bianca is gently and has a beautiful voice. She is smart and authentic at least during the podcast.
Definitely you both have a perfect chemistry to talk and making Autism less heavy.

Drivel

It’s like sitting in the staffroom of a public school listening to the canteen lady and the new PE teacher trying to make conversation and they get onto the topic of autism and say sentences relating to it until a student knocks on the door and like, tells a story that like, uh, could have been told in 3% of the time they took and would have been just as pointless either way. There’s nothing of value here.

Great Podcast

Great podcast. Very informative. A lot of episodes won’t play due to some formatting issue. But we’ll worth listening to them all on Spotify!
