Turning lived experience into real neuro-affirming positive behaviour support

At Waves, we believe you deserve support that feels safe, respectful, and affirming. We provide Positive Behaviour Support that is trauma-informed and neuro-affirming - but more importantly, it is shaped by lived experience.



We aren’t just looking in from the outside


Many of our team are neurodivergent ourselves, as well as parents and carers. We don’t just "study" these lived realities; we navigate them every day. We know what it’s like to manage burnout, to feel the weight of a world not built for your brain, and to handle the ripple effects when a routine suddenly shifts.


Because we have been there - and are there - we don’t start from a place of assumptions. We relate. We know that behind every "behaviour" is a human need, and we know that the "small" things in a day aren't actually small at all.


A partnership built on empathy


Empathy isn’t just a value for us; it’s the foundation of the systems we create. We work with you, not against you, to build support that actually fits your real life.


  • We lead with lived experience. We value professional expertise, but we prioritize the wisdom that comes from lived neurodivergent experience.
  • No "fixing" or masking. We see neurodivergence as a natural part of human diversity. Our goal is safety and regulation, not compliance.
  • You hold the choice and control. You are the expert on your life. We work together at the start to find out exactly how YOU want to be supported, so there are never any surprises.
  • Realistic, sustainable support. We don’t offer "textbook" strategies that fall apart under pressure. We walk alongside you to find practical ways to improve your quality of life.


If you’re looking for a team that understands the exhaustion, the triumphs, and the flow of a neurodivergent life - we’re here.

Specialist support for complex situational and systemic challenges

At Waves WA, we possess the clinical expertise and lived experience necessary to support individuals navigating the most complex intersections of the disability, health, and justice systems. We understand that standard support models often fall short when life becomes high-pressure or deeply layered, and we are committed to providing a higher level of professional advocacy and intervention.


Our team is experienced in navigating the intense intersections of disability, mental health, and the justice system. We understand that for many, support isn’t just about a plan - it’s about having a team that can stand beside you in the most challenging environments.


Our expertise includes supporting people through:

  • The Justice System: Working with individuals who are currently incarcerated, transitioning back into the community, or navigating court-mandated requirements.
  • Mental Health & Dual Diagnosis: Providing stable support for those managing complex mental health needs alongside drug and alcohol challenges.
  • System Navigation: Acting as a steady point of contact when dealing with justice, health, and mental health services to ensure your voice isn't lost.
  • Placement Stability: Supporting and stabilising living arrangements that are at risk of breakdown or have become difficult to maintain.
  • Multigenerational Disability & Burnout: Centring support for households where multiple family members have high-intensity needs and caregiver burnout is a constant reality.
  • School Refusal & Educational Breakdown: Supporting families where a child is unable to attend school due to anxiety, burnout, or sensory overwhelm, and helping to bridge the gap with educational providers.


We know that when your routine changes, or a system fails you, the flow-on effect can be overwhelming. We combine professional rigor with a commitment to never assume. We relate to the reality of your situation, no matter how intense, and we work with you to find a safer, more sustainable path forward.
