For Support Coordinators
Interest-led support for participants
who need something different.
Some participants thrive in traditional community programs. Others engage far better when support begins with something they already care about. Driven Support provides individualised community access and capacity-building support across South East Queensland.
Who might benefit?
A different starting point
can change the conversation.
Driven Support may suit participants who:
01
Prefer 1:1 support
02
Struggle to engage with traditional group programs
03
Have strong automotive, motorsport, outdoor or practical interests
04
Want to build confidence participating in the community
05
Benefit from structured and predictable activities
06
Want to explore new environments gradually
07
Are working toward greater independence
08
Respond well to interest-led engagement
Participant goals
How support can
align with goals.
Interests create a practical place to begin. The support itself remains connected to the participant’s own goals, circumstances and choices.
Build confidence and independence
Plan and complete outings, navigate unfamiliar environments and gradually take greater ownership of decisions.
Develop practical skills
Participate in car-care, vehicle-awareness or other practical activities connected to the participant’s interests.
Develop social confidence
Participate in low-pressure community environments such as local events, automotive gatherings or interest-based outings.
Activities are selected according to the individual participant’s circumstances, goals, funding arrangements and support needs.
Planning for the day
Know What to Expect.
For higher-stimulation activities, participants can be given clear information beforehand about what the environment may involve.
Preparing in advance can make unfamiliar environments feel more predictable and comfortable without making support feel clinical or complicated.
Environment
Noise level, crowd density, walking requirements, seating, toilets, shade, weather exposure and quiet areas.
Access & transport
Accessibility, transport arrangements, where to meet and what the participant may need to bring.
Choice & flexibility
The activity shape, sensory load, planned breaks and whether leaving early is possible if needed.
Individual context
Participant-specific risks, communication preferences, support needs and any practical details to discuss beforehand.
