Workshop recording + slides + worksheets
Logistics, fit, and setting yourself up for success.
Session two of the Untangling Workshop Series initially run on 8th April 2026.
Funding isn't helpful unless you can access the right supports through it. It can be daughnting seeing a dollar figure on paper and being unsure how to go about actually accessing services.
For many autistic, neurodivergent, and chronically ill participants there can be factors impacting this process:
decision fatigue when choosing providers
the (justified) fear of getting the 'wrong' worker
past negative experiences with services
energy limits that make trial-and-error particularly impactful
This session is about building a support team that works with you, not against you.
In this workshop, we’ll explore:
communicating your needs, preferences, and boundaries
tools to reduce cognitive load
practical ways to find and assess potential support workers
checking compatibility (communication style, sensory awareness, reliability)
red flags and what to do when something isn’t working
building a support network that is sustainable over time
Who this is for
Autistic, neurodivergent, and chronically ill participants who are building, reshaping, or reassessing their support team.
Whats included?
The full workshop recording
A downloadable copy of the presentation/slides
A short worksheet to help you identify your support needs
About the facilitator
