About
Teens and Beyond is a three-week online program for parents of teens with disability aged 13 and over.
Over three online sessions, we explore key topics for the teenage years, including school and post-school options, getting the right NDIS support, behaviour support, mental health and friendships.
This three-week program is for parents and carers of children with disability and helps you build practical knowledge and skills to navigate the teenage years with confidence.
Each week covers a different topic and is led by facilitators who are parents of children with disability.
