We have developed this booklet to provide information to assist you in understanding what it means to be a member of the Red Frog Family, as well as inform you of the services we provide.
Red Frog for Families is a multidisciplinary practice that was created in 2012, by the family of a boy with autism, to support other families affected by disability.
Red Frog for Families provides services for families with children, teenagers, and young adults who have individual differences in their abilities; these differences in abilities create challenges in daily life sufficient enough to interfere with their development, function, and participation in everyday life. While our services are primarily specialised intervention for the individual, we also work directly with the family as we believe in the concept of family-centred care. We recognise the impact of the individual’s differences on the entire family system and aim to educate, inform, empower, and uplift families as they seek to better understand and support their family members. Red Frog for Families has also assisted many teens and adolescents transition into adulthood and assisted them (and their support teams) to lead a quality life.
Red Frog for Families, while operating out of our clinic in Broadmeadow, provides services to participants Australia-wide. Our services include individual multidisciplinary sessions, offered in either regular therapy sessions or in therapy intensives. We also provide peer/dyad sessions and specialised social programs that are tailored to the individual needs of our participants. Additionally, we offer parent consultation and education consultation as well as therapy assistants. Our community access program allows us to provide much more support outside of the clinic environment by providing assistance for individuals to access their community independently.
Red Frog for Families, while offering multidisciplinary services on its premises, does believe in a team approach that centres around cohesive and comprehensive care for the participant. Families are integrally involved in all aspects of goal setting, treatment planning, and intervention. As well, we collaborate with other members of the participant’s team, including other health, medical, and educational professionals, to ensure consistency and completeness in their care.
