Intellectual Disability Support in Perth, Built Around the Person
Experienced Support. Genuine Connection. Your Life, Your Way.
Respectful, patient support that helps build everyday independence.
Everyone with an intellectual disability has their own strengths, interests and goals. The best support meets a person where they are, communicates clearly, and helps them do as much for themselves as they can.
I'm Samuel, an independent support worker in Perth with more than 9 years of experience supporting people with a wide range of needs.
As an independent intellectual disability support worker, I offer consistent, one-to-one support from the same familiar person, built around the individual.
Clear, Respectful, Independence-Focused
Good support isn't about doing everything for someone — it's about supporting them to build skills, confidence and independence, at their own pace. I communicate clearly and patiently, keep things consistent, and shape support around what each person wants to achieve in their everyday life.
How I Can Help
Depending on your circumstances, support might include:
Daily Living Skills
Practical, patient support to build everyday skills and confidence over time.
Community Access
Support to get out, take part in activities and stay connected in the community.
Social Connection
Companionship and support to build friendships and social confidence.
Routine & Structure
Support to plan and keep to routines that make daily life easier to manage.
Goals & Interests
Support shaped around each person's hobbies, interests and personal goals.
Respite for Family
Reliable support that also gives family and carers a well-earned break.
Support is available for adults and young people, shaped around each person's individual needs.
Honest About What I Do & Don't Provide
I provide non-clinical support and companionship. I do not provide personal care, medication, behaviour therapy or clinical support — those should only be provided by people with the right qualifications and arrangements in place. My support focuses on everyday life and works alongside any clinicians or therapists already involved.
Intellectual Disability Support and the NDIS
Many people with an intellectual disability access support through the NDIS, often under core supports like assistance with daily life and social and community participation, and capacity building. Self-managed and plan-managed participants can usually choose their own support workers, including an independent provider like me. How support can be arranged depends on your plan and circumstances. Learn more on the NDIS page.
Support that builds independence, at your own pace.

Do you provide personal care, medication or behaviour therapy?
No. I provide non-clinical support and companionship only. Personal care, medication and behaviour therapy should be provided by qualified people with the right arrangements in place. My support works alongside them.
