What is a Neurological Condition?

A different way the brain and body work together

Neurological conditions affect how the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system communicate with the rest of the body. This can change how a person moves, feels, thinks, or responds to their surroundings. Examples include epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, and many others. Having a neurological condition doesn’t take away a person’s identity or potential. With understanding, tailored supports, and environments designed for accessibility, people can live independently, achieve their goals, and enjoy meaningful connections.

Neurological conditions are diverse and unique

No two neurological conditions or two people living with them are the same. Some may impact mobility or coordination, while others affect speech, memory, or sensory experiences. The severity and progression can also vary greatly. Recognising and respecting these differences helps create safe, inclusive environments where individuals can thrive in their own way.

Support should empower, not limit

People with neurological conditions often face unnecessary barriers. Support should focus on adapting the environment, building practical skills, and fostering independence rather than trying to change or “fix” the person. With the right tools, assistive technologies, and consistent guidance, individuals can access opportunities, maintain autonomy, and lead fulfilling lives.

Championing People with Neurological Conditions

Living with a neurological condition can bring challenges, but it also highlights incredible resilience and strength. Our role is to provide practical, compassionate support that reduces barriers and enhances quality of life.

Building daily living skills and independence

Through step-by-step supports and task adaptations, we help individuals gain confidence and autonomy in self-care and community participation.

Supporting emotional wellbeing and coping skills

We work alongside individuals and families to manage stress, frustration, or adjustment challenges that may come with neurological conditions.

Hear it from real families

“Before we understood what was really going on for J, every day felt like a struggle. Our support workers were doing their best, but nothing seemed to click. It often felt like we were all trying to push J into doing things, and the more we pushed, the more he shut down.

When Brooke and her team explained Autism & PDA to us, it was like someone finally turned the light on. We realised he wasn’t being difficult, he was doing everything he could to feel safe and in control.

With Brooke’s help, our whole approach changed. His support workers stopped trying to force things and started meeting him where he’s at by giving him time, space, and choices.

Now, J’s so much more relaxed. He actually wants to spend time with his workers because they see him for who he is. He laughs more, joins in on his own terms, and doesn’t feel like he has to mask or meet anyone else’s expectations.

It’s been incredible to watch him grow into himself, just by being accepted”
- J’s Mum

Real people. Real experience.
Here for you.

We’re not just professionals — we’re people who get it.

Our team is proudly autistic-led, trauma-informed, and shaped by lived experience. We’ve sat on both sides of the table — as clinicians, as family members, and many of us as neurodivergent individuals ourselves.

We understand that life isn’t always neat or easy, and behaviour support should never feel like a judgement or try to change who you are.

No matter what life looks like for you right now — we walk alongside you.
