Parents of a stABILITY Member -
"Our son has Autism and went through Special Education. He has functional language and a profound need for predictability. However, if the umbrella of support is good, he embodies the idea that 'Autism is development delayed, not denied'.
stABILITY provides him with a supportive, safe and caring umbrella and he is thriving.
He wants to be there, he has friends and they do exciting activities. He is increasingly involved in his own care when he stays overnight. He happily helps with meal-planning, shopping, cooking, washing-up and laundry. He will now eat a variety of foods we never thought he would.
At stABILITY he is happy, engaged, valued, cared-for and, importantly, challenged to continue developing his independence and social skills. As his parents, we couldn't be happier that he has found his tribe and is regarded with genuine affection by these lovely people!"
"As a parent of a young man with Autism, now in his 3rd year with stABILITY, we started slowly with one night a week of respite, then two nights in his second year, and now three nights a week.
He has grown and matured beyond our expectations through developing independence away from home.
This provision supersedes any other and should be a role model for others to follow. Without stABILITY, this would not have been possible."
