You may work in community organisations, governmental agencies, or non-profits, focusing on accessibility, policy advocacy, and client support. You’ll assist clients in navigating services, provide information about their rights, and advocate for necessary changes to improve their quality of life.

Collaboration with families, service providers, and policymakers is essential to promote effective solutions and ensure clients receive appropriate support and resources.
