About us
So what is PosAbilities. Strong Minds : Strong Futures?
Our programs cater to Level 1 & Level 2 ASD youth aged between 6 and 24
Our goal is to build the capacity of our ASD youth to be resilient, manage their emotions, develop and maintain relationships, live independently and have fulfilling successful lives.
We aim to instil a sense of confidence in the strengths they already have and build on them, developing further strengths. Using Positive Psychology tools and techniques, we focus on what they CAN do and show them how to live a happier and more fulfilling life, allowing them to flourish and maximise their potential.
By identifying the strengths of participants and teaching them how to use them to overcome any challenges, they learn how to live happy and flourishing lives with a sense of belonging, accomplishment, connection and freedom.
The PosAbilities Manifesto
How we operate
Our priority is the development of each individual, focussing on their strengths and developing goals to maximise their potential. Our Vision is Strong Minds : Strong Futures.
Through the provision of either 1:1 coaching or group coaching, we develop a program that suits the individual, ensuring that it is tailored to suit each young person.
We provide a highly supportive service that focuses on the positive, to build strong minds to enable strong futures.
Delivery of our programs can be face to face or via Zoom. With negotiation, we deliver programs to areas outside of the Illawarra.
Please get in touch to discuss how we can best support you.
We work with NDIS clients and non-NDIS clients.
Our Board of Directors
