A Developmental Educator (DE) is a recognised allied health professional, specialised in increasing independence and quality of life for individuals with developmental or acquired disabilities. DE's have a holistic approach and mindset, and personalise all support to suit an individual's needs, goals and learning styles. 

 

DE's work closely with families and other professionals in your support team. This might include other allied health professionals (such as speech pathologists and occupational therapists), school staff and employment agencies.  They can offer support to identify and overcome barriers to learning, inclusion and community access. DE's work with individuals and families to create personalised resources, visuals and approaches to continue using in the home or community.
