This toolkit will center everyday communication power:

“I can say what I need. I can ask questions. I can disagree. I can protect my energy.”


You set the reminder.
You wrote the list.
You even wanted to do the thing.
But somehow—it still didn’t happen.

And now you’re spiralling:
"Why can’t I just get it together?"
"Am I lazy? Am I broken?"
"Why do other people make this look so easy?"

Here’s the truth:
You’re not broken.
You’re not lazy.
You’re running a complex system without the blueprint.


Recovery doesn’t follow a timeline. It loops, pauses, spirals, and rests. This toolkit offers visual, linguistic, and emotional support for anyone navigating healing in a system that expects progress to be linear.


Children are not just NDIS participants—they’re people. But under current systems, too many children are treated as cases to be managed, not individuals with choices to be respected.

This blog explores how the NDIS often sidelines child agency—and introduces new visual and Easy Read tools to make that reality more visible and changeable.


A four-panel visual essay featuring bold black and orange text on a beige background. Each panel includes a short message and simple line icons. Top left: “You shouldn’t need a law degree to protect a child,” with icons of a courthouse and an adult holding a child. Top right: “But too often, systems that are meant to keep kids safe…” with a scale of justice. Bottom left: “We shouldn’t need a law degree to make the system move. But sometimes we need a plan.” with a checklist icon. Bottom right: “When the system stalls, pressure needs to be applied from every angle,” with arrows pointing toward a center dot. The footer reiterates: “When the system stalls, pressure needs to be applied from every angle—fast.”


Some people are loud when they’re scared.
Some people go quiet when they’re in pain.
Some people laugh when they’re overwhelmed.
Some people cry when they’re not even sure why.

None of those reactions are wrong.
None of them mean someone is broken.
But in support systems, classrooms, and workplaces, these behaviours are often misunderstood, punished—or dismissed as “difficult.”

Here’s the truth:
People aren’t difficult.
What’s difficult is trying to support someone without the blueprint.
