Experience an educational getaway on our next STA.

Our short-term respite (STR) program is a valuable opportunity for families to get valuable respite, and for young people with disabilities who are working towards improving their independence. We carefully design experiences that help participants achieve their goals, including trips that offer accessible environments where they can practice life skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and personal care.

While support staff is available to assist with daily tasks, our ultimate goal is to promote independence and self-sufficiency through gradual and meaningful experiences. We aim to equip young people with the skills and confidence they need to live independently in the community.

This type of accommodation can be a transformative step towards a more fulfilling life, playing a critical role in the transition from school to adulthood. Not only does it lead to personal growth and success, but it also creates cherished memories that last a lifetime.

Our previous STR’s have been an outstanding success, with incredible engagement from participants and successfully reaching independent living goals, whilst also having fun with friends! 

With a Specialcise STR you can be assured that you are receiving excellent quality care and safe practices in achieving your goals.
