What is a Developmental Educator?

Developmental Educators (DEs) are specialists in disability support who focus on skill-building, behaviour support and person-centered interventions. They work closely with individuals, families and support teams to enhance quality of life, independence and social participation. Our qualified DEs use evidence-based strategies to promote independence, learning and social inclusion.

How we can support.

We provide tailored support in various areas, including:

• Skill Development & Independence – Teaching life skills such as communication, daily living tasks, emotional regulation and social interactions.

• Social & Community Inclusion – Assisting individuals in building meaningful relationships and engaging with their community.

• Therapeutic Support – Implementing therapy-based programs to support cognitive, emotional and behavioural development.

• Collaboration with Families & Support Teams – Providing education, training, and guidance for caregivers and other professionals.

• Assessments - Conducting a range of different assessments, including Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA) to gain evidence of the required support needs.

At Arboreta Support, we are committed to empowering individuals with disabilities by fostering personal growth and lifelong learning. Our goal is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every person can thrive and succeed.
